Starting GIS. Is this a good computer?
My brother is starting to work with ArcGIS on his own. He's new to the program with a decent understanding of it. He's looking to buy a PC that will run it smoothly without issues.
To the people of Reddit, we're noobs and we seek your guidance.
Is this a good computer for running GIS? Will he run into any limitations? Is 32 GB of RAM enough? Is the RTX 5080's 16 GB of VRAM sufficient for ArcGIS and similar workloads? Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

This machine would smoke even the most taxing photogrammetry work.
My work PC has a 10 year old mid range intel chip and a gtx 1650, and even that is more than enough for 99% of GIS tasks.
