Thumper.

i dont know if this helps..but this time i went with an amd mini pc.
So far I'm thrilled with it for 400 bucks. it seems to laugh at anything i throw at it.
(my reasoning being higher speed cpu's and busses are coming down the pipe in the next few years.)

but whether it would put a smile on your face i dunno as your needs might be way different than i and you might want massive trak counts and you use resource hungry plug-ins.

one IMPORTANT point i want to make is there is a very handy site that tests in great detail core latency of some pc's and lots of other stats.,...imho core latency is rather important as one doesnt want to buy any old pc only to find running latency mon you get various warnings and problems. my ryzen mini pc has one of the lowest core latencies.
heres the site >>>

obviously they cant test every single pc on the market.
all i can say is ive gone from being a mini pc sceptic to being a big fan of such.


if you wanna go hog wild , these are the type of custom built pc's used by lots of
studios with big budgets. they are turnkey highly optimised rigs for recording etc. you tell em' what you want and they build the rig.

www.silentpc.com

there are many competitors…heres another one of many.
(another thing you can do is go on gearspace.com and ask for references re custom built for recording. many people love this custom option.)

good luck with your quest.
