If you plan to do much with the Ripper module or compress UHD or BD content, I suggest the HP with the i7+GTX1060 or one of the similar MSIs (GE62,63 OR 72 series). I have 2 of the MSIs.

Thanks for your recommendation, it's a Hewlett Packard I currently have, so I may go for another core i7 model, as I predominantly rip MP4 and MKV files. And quite possibly, in the near future, the versatility to rip UHD content.
So I gather the most important aspect in terms of specifications, is processor first, followed by graphics card, especially when it comes to using the ripper module? So it's definitely best to go with the core i7 for processing? Followed by a one of the Nvidia GTX10 series cards?
