Recommended PC?

This was a discussion some time ago to help me decide on a new rig:

New PC: Cores > RAM/Speed?

I know this has been asked and answered multiple times, but I’d like to get the latest thinking on a new PC build. My current i7 4 Core processor is struggling once I get to 30 or so tracks and start adding in reverb, delay and guitar sims. I’m planning to havea new PC built so I don’t have to constantly freeze tracks and end up having to drop to 2048 samples just to get a complex project to play. Am I right that the latest thinking is to prioritise processor cores over speed? Will I better of…

The PC I ended up with is still going strong and is ploughing through CB 13 on Windows 11 using a Focusrite 8i6. Rock solid and has never got close to maxing out for me.
