The 2015 is a tad old, but I'm helping a friend set up a little editing station without going the completetly outdated Mac Pro route or (ugh) PC route since he wants to use FCPX.

So I was looking at:
27" 5k
512GB SSD
4.0Ghz i7 Quad Core
8GB RAM (I will upgrade his ram myself)
395x (Unless anyone recommends the slower 395 for FCPX).

If anyone knows a good place to get it please let me know :)
I usually get it from B&H (No tax for me) but anywhere else appreciated.

The Refurb store does not have this config btw.

Cheers

I thought the difference between the 395 and 395x was the extra RAM. From what I have read both are equal speed wise.
