how does that differ from gaming performance and compute performance?

Gaming is gaming, Compute performance is things such as calculation of pi, visualization, and server sides. All Around is a combination of the best of all performance.

means it has a mix of gaming and workstation performance

you can still have to compute hell of a lot of pies and do visualizations for gaming

just replace all thre of the performance options with TFLOPS

Or whether or not you have to call tech support.

Or whether or not you are the tech support cos you built it.

The most imporant for me is gaming performance.

When the computer performs well in games, it usually also performs well in general tasks.

 

I mean.. A computer that struggles and locks up while loading Windows Explorer is certainly not gonna work great when trying to load up GTA V.

In gaming you have single precision operation while in computational applications, you have double precision calculation. That's a huuuge difference.

I... I can't choose, so I selected everything. They are all equally important to me.

TERA FLOPS !!!!!

Floating point operations aren't the same as double precision floats operation, I think those flops in gpu refer to single precision floats

Sufficient performance for all I do with it. I'd have said reliability, but if it has a pentium 2 as reliable as it might be I could not use it as my main pc.

To be able to get 60fps at 4k

Everything is important.  I need a balance for my main system.  I am a sysadmin, network admin, video editor, audio editor, graphic and visual designer, gamer, photo editor, website designer and host, and server virtualization manager.  My main system has to be agile and quick, but with enough horsepower when I need it.

So it must be able to run all games on ultra 1440p at 60fps.

It must be super silent and produce zero heat over the summer.

Meanwhile when it's winter, I want it to heat up my room nicely.

 

OMG YES PLS

Sadly my PC isn't like that :\

It's summer and there is 35°C outside and 37°C in my room.

 

During the winter it's acctually awesome when you just turn on PC and room gets hotter. But over the summer it's horible

I consider all of the above and more.

Stability in a computer is the most important to me. Having everything on the list would be cool, but the most important thing in a computer to me is that it won't crash often, and therearen't any unstable hardware (e.g. overheating CPU or GPU).
