I'd suggest getting an Octane. Desktop CPU, and it's said to have more robust cooing.

Also, RTX GPUs which (are likely to offer more horsepower (we're still waiting on benchmarks here) and could be more forward looking if any of that software ever leverages tensor cores.

You could also consider the 4k screen option since you're not gonna need gsync if you're not gaming.
