It recommended I pay the $150 extra to downgrade from the 3950X to the 7950X. Also, that I pay $1400 for a 3080 TI, but a substantially less powerful GPU would do just fine. I asked for a workstation, not a gaming rig.

Isn't the 7950x better than the 3950x in all aspects or am I missing something?

  Yes, it is. That is why this is a terrible recommendation.

    I don't understand your comment then. Did you make a typo?

      Oops, I meant downgrade from 7950X to 3950X. It told me to buy a 3950X.

Depends on what "workstation" means to you... For some, it literally means AI work, and would suggest a higher end GPU with plenty of VRAM. For others, it may mean really memory heavy work, or high CPU process work. For me, it's the latter, for others it could be the former. YMMV, seriously.

  I agree. "Workstation" is too general.
