    well, of course it would be easy to respond, telling you that the best configuration is the most expensive rs. But it depends on what you want, or how much you want to spend.

    for example, I prefer a configuration, where it has a lot of power, with more cores, so that it is easy to manage everything at the same time, like game manager, dash, engine, vibe, games, software like voice attack, VR and steam, configurations of controls and accessories in case of using gamepad of xbox, some steering wheel like thrustmaster or others, manhce for aviation or ships, anyway ... a series of things, besides of course, of the own hardware, like control of energy I'm working with hardware, and for this very reason I have many active configurations here, I have the opportunity to test one by one, in detail ...
