Money is like cocaine. It amplifies personality traits.

It doesn't really matter.

As someone who's running their own company, this is the most tone-deaf comment I think I've seen on here.

Probably the whole company does.

oof.

I'd go for a Nikon Z50 or a used Z5. Nothing wrong with Sony, but they're primarily popular with amateurs. The only professionals I know who use Sony are architectural photogs adapting Canon TSE's to them because it's the cheapest way to 60MP. I know 4 photographers who switched from Sony Mirrorless back to Canon R or Nikon Z because they're so awful to work with when you're "in the trenches". About a year ago I auditioned a Sony A7R4 for work to replace my D800's because according to DPReview, it checked ALL the boxes when I was transitioning to mirrorless. Problem was, it was infuriating to tether with and operate as a professional. They're unnecessarily complicated pieces of kit and settled on a Nikon Z6 and Z9. Also rented the EOS R5 and R3 as options, but the cheap Canon RF lenses are garbage, forcing you to go exotic. Plus they don't have anything that can compete with with the 400mm f/4.5S.

Not a problem till it gets to about 100C. you're also OC'ing it...

100% Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go for it.

This is exactly what Nvidia wanted. They need a reason for people to spend thousands of dollars on 4080's and 4090's. Meanwhile 6800's on ebay are about $400 and get you to a nice, 16GB buffer.

Ride or die.

For $700, I'd agree with you, go for that. If you want to spend a little more though, the old 5K LG Ultrafine would give you more screen real estate if you don't use scaling while still retaining the 1 cord I/O. That said, non-scaled 5K at 27" means everything's going to be pretty small... Also, just be weary that MacOS will foolishly default a 4K screen to 1080p scaling, so everything is going to look STUPID ENORMOUS. at 40+ inches, it's best to turn scaling off completely so it doesn't make UI elements huge and rob you of the screen real estate you're looking for. I use SwitchResX to do that on my monitors.

Not ideal, but should be fine. I ran pigtails on my 6800XT for a long time.

I don't hate Razer, but I don't like the aesthetic.

7900XT or XTX for sure
