Hi Retro...... Welcome to the forums.

I suggest looking at the ODE level 1 and having DS add the extra ram for the price difference plus $50 for change to a pre-built system.

Here's a custom with a little less powerful video card but has the i7-3770k cpu with hyperthreading.   Hyperthreading might help with your apps.

ODE 1 has a better case and video card and the custom has the better cpu.    

Config # 813020      Cost $ 1664.
