[QUOTE="TanMan, post: 312861, member: 10597"] I upgraded my stock PC as soon as I got it. RAM should not be so much of an issue, I have a total of 64GB of RAM now, 4 sticks. Upgraded the CPU from i7-6700k to i7-7700k. The big problem is the GPU and the power supply of the Z240. It's not robust enough to power more powerful GPUs (I had a 1080Ti lined up for it, but the power supply couldn't power it). I have a quadro M2000 installed in it right now, but it is just too damn slow. I'll keep you posted, I am building another one from scratch next week, going to migrate into a new SSD by copying/mirroring onto a PCIex4 card (Samsung EVO PLUS 2TB) w/ an 850W power supply and the 1080Ti I couldn't use. The only concern I would have with a stock PC is data migration and a lot of times, these companies have proprietary firmware that can interfere with migration of data, v. a new build. Although, does anyone know if the 3shape scan software works better with Workstation cards (Quadro) or Consumer grade (GTX/RTX)? I can't seem to find answer to that question. [/QUOTE]
