    ...happens to me as well, particularly here. 

    Still congratulations, looks like a good system (new instead of refurbished) and one that can be expanded as needed.  Case appears to have good airflow with the side and top fans.

    For myself, still waiting for an email from Nvidia (sort of like Waiting for Godot).

    I run a 4790K with 16GB Ram and a GTX980Ti. I am going to do some upgrades, and I will end up having to start with the CPU/RAM. It just isn't cost effective to buy a 1080ti right now, and even if I got one, I would still be out of VRAM in many of my renders.  This one was 11GB. Yes I could have run the optimize script to cut it down some, but that takes a lot of time figuring out exactly what part of the environment is in frame and what isn't. If I spend an extra hour or two rendering over spending an extra hour tweaking a scene, well, I can just walk away from the PC and come back later.

    Congratz on the new PC, it does feel awesome when you get a new computer.. I just got mine and well talk about a beast of a machine, one thing I have to watch out for is low flying aircraft as they might mistake my PC for runway lights.. lol  One thing I did get the PC builder to add in was a 500GB SSD as figured the main 250GB SSD would not be enough.. Now the long task of moving nearly a terabyte of data from the NAS to the 4 TB HDD..

    ...wow, that's even bigger than my railway station scene (below) with 8 characters and a bunch of emissive lights which tops out at 8.9 GB. 

    Was putting money aside to gt a 1070 (which would have handled maybe 75% of my scenes) but the cryptomining craze sent prices into the ionosphere.

    Again, I'm not sure why you're so down on Windows 10. Yeah, I hate Windows, but honestly I don't see the problem with 10. I know you once mentioned not liking the automatic updates, but those are easily disabled by disabling the service (a few mouse clicks):

    Windows 10 is great but the forced upgrades are ridiculous. As far as I can tell there is no known way to permanently disable the updates. If you disable the update service, there are scheduled tasks that run regularly to re-enable them. If you cancel the scheduled tasks, as soon as you reboot your computer they get added back. The possible solution is that there should be a registry key you can set to alert you that windows 10 updates are available instead of automatically installing them.
