If Money Wasn't A Concern, What Chess Software Combination Would You Buy?

IF MONEY WASN'T A CONCERN, how would you spend up to $500 on Chess software for a PC?

I am open to spending up to $500 on chess software that will help educate me, analyze games, and help me progress from a beginner through intermediate to advanced chess player. 

(I am currently working through the Tactics Trainer and Chess Mentor here on chess.com. And, I'm working my way through several well-known and respected chess books.)

I've read everything I can find (on this forum and the Internet) about various engines, GUIs, and databases: (Komodo, StockFish, Houdini, Tarrasch, Arena, Scid vs. PC, Winboard, Aquarium, Fritz, Deep Fritz, Winboard, Aquarium, Chessbase, Chess Assistant, Shredder, Chessmaster, Chessgames, etc.)

I find that many reviewers choose free or low cost products, because "they are good enough" or "the better software is too pricey," or other very good reasons.

However, IF MONEY WASN'T A CONCERN, how would you allocate up to $500 to build your dream software/engine/gui/database combination?

Thanks.

I'd still buy HIARCS because it has a very human like play, an easy to use GUI, a database function that I can understand, and your choice of any of 200 common openings that you can play against at either full strength or dumbed down to your level.  I'd still buy ChessKing because I like all of the exercises that come with it and enjoy playing against a computer when I'm given odds of a piece or two (or many).  I suppose I'd replace Fritz with ChessBase because all the pros use it if I had to spend the money, but in the back of my mind I'd know, even as I bought it, that I'd probably never figure it out.

You'd buy Fritz 14 and Junior 14 (13.8) so that you've got a standard tactical monster (Fritz) and something to give you off-the-wall ideas (Junior). Then you'd download Stockfish as it's the strongest engine in the world, and free. If you shop around that's about $80. 

You'd buy Chessbase 13 (the newest one) and a correspondence database like Corr Database (to get the highest quality games). If you fancy seeing famous names you might aslo add a standard database (something like 'big base') though 'Megabase' might push you over-budget. That's another about $280, again, if you shop around. 

Finally, you'd buy some training DVDs which operate in the Fritz-trainer system. You see the GM speaking, the board position, and you can have engines running as kibitzers to get a second and third opinion. You might buy one for each opening you play, choosing the ones created by the highest quality Grandmasters, and then a few Middlegame DVDs, the ones by Daniel King (PowerPlay) are very good, and finally, some Endgame DVDs, perhaps those by Muller. How much they cost will depend (obviously) on which ones you go for and how many you buy. You could easly spend $500 just on these, but you could pick up about 5 or 6 for about $140 if you shop around. 

Assuming you shop around and assuming I've added up correctly that should come to about $500. 

Thanks baddogno and chyss.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Are either of these choices considered to be the "gold standard" that most titled players use, when money isn't a concern?

Thanks.
