Adding to ShamelessC's answer - the other option is to wait for quantised versions of this model. A q4 will be around 70GB, and probably acceptable. A q5 or higher would be preferred, but we're still a good way under the 260GB.
You still need extra RAM to breath, but that's a lot more palatable.
This is why the Mac range - with unified memory - is appealing, as you can allocate most of your (say) 256GB of RAM to the GPU.
Conventional (desktop) CPU / RAM would be painfully slow.
