better foe what purpose? gaming?

what are the prices you pay?

you don't need 16GB of memory

Maybe gaming, but mainly for any Adobe App and 3D modeling apps.

Price would be ok around 1900 USD

I'm planning to use it for many years, not only till I graduate, and we don't know what will be the requirements for computers in some years. That's also why I'm thinking of buying that kind of computer. And also I'm interested in HQ sound, and I think both are good options.
