an assembly of parts without a defined end use is hard to comment on.
are you
playing games?
writing code?
surfing the web?
video editing?
etc etc etc
that said, there is not much "new" in the desktop arena. sure, clock speeds go marginally up, the number of cores keeps going up, blah blah blah.
but no real innovation. SSD's are mainstream technology now. high performance GPUs are a dime a dozen. LCD monitor? 60" 240Hz if you want.
so there is not a lot to differentiate desktops. these days: buy quality mid-priced components, use it for 3-5 years, throw it away, start over.
and the software environment is a far worse situation.
- windows 10, otherwise known as "microsoft could have produced this in 2005".
- linux, no innovation since 1975. better sound drivers. no more uucp.
