In the past, we* used to build our own pcs, then migrated to an iMac and OSX - Snow Leopard at the time. However, we are now looking to replace our current iMac and revert back to Windows - see https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...-specification-reverting-to-a-PC-from-an-iMac
What would be an ideal desktop pc system for us, with a maximum budget of £1,000 ? We'll be using office type programmes (Microsoft or Libre Office), a little photo editing, basic CAD, no gaming other than perhaps some flight simulator occasionally. We'd like to have a dual boot system to use Linux from time to time, which we'd like to accomplish via a swappable HDD system - Icy Dock or similar.
The budget should cover the pc, and we're thinking it would be a Ryzen 5 or 7 based system with 16 Gb of memory. The budget doesn't need to cover peripherals such as keyboards or monitors. In terms of the latter we are thinking of one or two AOC 32 " monitors so the graphics output needs to be capable of that
