A desktop Mac does not have the same upgrade paths available like a Windows PC. Apple doesn't like to certify new hardware all that quickly so no new Titan for you!
One reason I have been a Windows user for so long is the flexibility of changing the system. The computer I am typing this on is over 6 years old. I built it originally as just my home PC to run Quicken, and do email and surf the web. I just used the onboard video of the motherboard. and a pair of 1 TB hard drives running in a mirror.

Then after a couple of years I bought a much large case and bigger power supply, and two high end video cards and started running some mapping software on it. That grew into needed a new motherboard with more cores, and 128 gig of ram, so I disassembled my system, and put the two video cards in the new super system. and went back to the cheap video card. Then I needed a real horsepower for Video and put in the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with 28 Gig of video memory and put in the 2 TB SSD.

I also have 3 other hard drives in the system. It all started life as a Win 7 Pro computer and was upgraded to Win 10 Pro. I would like to build a system with the new CPU like one I built for my partner, with the i8 Next Gen CPU and 24 cores, and 64 gig of RAM. If we get a few of the big projects we have bid on I might get to build that. Then turn this machine back to a personal Quicken, and email box.
