I buy engineering workstations, usually with 12 or 16 cores though more would be nice. The GPU choice is "what lets me plug in two 1440p monitors" to edit lots of c++ or vhdl code on.
I perversely have to buy X570 motherboards atm as well, because I need two PCIe x16 (well x8 really) cards and thanks to the GPU requirement that I don't really care about I end up needing *three* x16 slots which really limits the board choice.
So as a business buyer, I'm really really liking this idea.
Then there's the whole small server thing where I have to waste money on a GT710 just to get the thing to boot.
