Jerry,
An I7 is more than enough processor. You will want a video card
that can driver at least 2 monitors. You should consider adding real
RS232 ports, at least 2 or 4 if you will ever run two radios, and even
more if you want to control rotors, amps (KPA-500) or other accessories.
I use an FX-6300 3.5Ghz processor with 16Gb of ram and a 250Gb SSD
for the boot drive.
I find that the SSD speeds the system up, I get from a cold boot to
ready to run my software in about 10-15 seconds from power on.

Now that I have had my k3s on the air for a couple of months I'm ready to
interface it to a computer. I am planning on a dedicated PC just for use in the
shack. My only uses (that I can think of now) are logging and control of the
k3s, perhaps remotely at some point.
It seems to me an I7 processor of any speed would be adequate with a 500gb SSD and
wifi capability to my LAN (I guess I could hard wire this). What else do I need in
the box in the way of interconnectivity? Any need for a large amount of memory
(>8gb)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
