    Logical increments is definitely a good part picker. Be honest about how much power you need: getting a GTX 1080 for web devlopment, for example, is unwise when a $100ish AMD will do good for even modest GPU usage. By way, I recommend getting yourself a nice high-end PSU, like a Corsair AX. As long as you don't have bad luck, anything else will do, but these things perform extraordinarily well under heavy load and bad conditions. I was having a lot of BSODs related to power draw before updating my PSU, after blaming nearly every other component first... Was an expensive endeavor to figure that out.

    AMD CPUs can give vastly superior price performance in many cases, but if you want very high performance and/or the other advanced features Intel has to offer (and their backdoors) a high-end i5 will serve you well.

    I've heard excellent things about nVME memory if you have the dough. If not, still get a Samsung EVO 950 at Least, esp. if you wanna run Windows.

    If you're doing a lot with Docker and VMs, get a ton of memory. It piles up fast. 16GiB is good to have even if you dont, it'll help with caching/Chrome/ramfs.
