Hi what's the budget for this PC and can you include the configurable link from the same place you copy/pasted the spec from?

The spec quoted is around £750. Ideally I don't want to go much higher.

NOW EDITED: Not sure how to post the link requested. Is this it? https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-home-office-pc-V/JMCuDM5ePD/

Yep that looks to be it.

I think a lack of response might be down to folk not knowing much about your intended use case or just folk not seeing it since you posted. Hopefully someone will catch it today

I don't know anything about the software you've referred too and tend to leave specs to others to advise on.
