So the op isn't getting it done

David, thanks for the research - GTX 750 or better and the box is checked.

The point on the 4k monitor is the first thing to choose as it is the key "human interface" element .

Again, thanks for the research and thoughtful advice.

I get lost in the bits and bytes just a bit sooner (or would that be a byte) than JRW.

I picked up a Dell laptop w/ a 4k screen and the ability to push 4k out the HDMI port. Not quite the monster desk unit, but at this point is the shared laptop w/ my wife (pay bills on, general surfing etc). Will see if is enough.
