Inventor, Blender, Lightroom, Affinity Photo & Lightworks capable machine for <£800?!

Hi

I am looking to start a new business offering 2D draughting, 3D modelling (maximum assembly sizes expected to be <100 parts), renders and product photography / filming. I have chosen the spec below driven by cost and not entirely sure the combination of items work.

The primary use of this machine will be Inventor.
Secondary will be renders and photo editing.
Video editing is a nice to have as it is something I want to move into in the near future. If the best spec for this pushes the cost up I can easily leave off.

All help is genuinely appreciated

The problem with this spec is that the GPU is very weak. Upping the GPU to the 1050 increases the price to the point that the spec is barely any less than the Vyper with it's much more powerful 1050 ti.

You'll also likely want the i7 CPU for rendering.

If a Vyper with an i7 and other bits goes beyond the budget there is a very, very strong argument for saving up until you can get one. Since what's the point of spending £800 on something that will struggle with some of your uses when, say, £950 nets you 2-3x the performance.

Furthermore the storage is not ideal. These are 2 small drives, which are also relatively slow versus the alternatives. Which alternative makes the most sense depends what exactly you have in mind for the storage i.e. how you see yourself using it.
