PC build for gaming & editing?

[Harby]

So below is a mini PC i have configured, that is within my £1'000 budget.
I'd be running Destiny 2 (I've googled required specs and suggested spec and done what I can), and will also be running Affinity (editing software for drawing / photo edits). These will NOT be run simultaneously at any point, only ever individually.

Basically, my short question is... would this suffice for what I have mentioned above?

As always... thank you for any help any of you are able to provide .

Gaming, depends on your monitor really....if it's a basic 1080p 60Hz refresh, then the GPU is fine. As to the rest, it'll do the job, albeit not very quickly. Personally, I'd want a better spec.

Is there a particular reason for going for a mini PC as opposed to a normal tower? Just wondering as some towers are smaller these days

Honestly... my desk isn't large enough to cater for a tower, and I don't want it sat on the carpet. I looked at AIO pc's but they seem more hassle than they're worth in all honesty.
I have 2 monitors, one is 4K ready, 144hz, the other is (i think) 70hz 1080p (it's a 23.8 inch AOC, had it around 6-7 years)

What level are you planning to game at though? While it may be a 4k monitor, you won't be gaming at 4k on it though, or 1440p for that matter, not without a jump in GPU
