Home PC rig

[bopeep]

Please suggest a good set up for a Home Office PC.

I am planning to get a Home PC. What are the bare minimum I should get. I am not looking for a Gaming Rig. Just for usual work. Run some Apps, do some programming, Image and Video editing etc. Sorry, Not bare Minimum. I mean it doesn't have to be over the top. But I want a very Good Rig. I am looking to built something from scratch. I want Big Monitors but everything else I want a bit compact. Not those monstrous gaming rigs with red and purple lights.

Are those iMac types that has everything inside the Monitor any good?

Are any of you working strictly from Laptops? I am, and I suddenly realized I should have a desktop with bigger monitors since I work from home all day.

^ Looks good to me, I'd spend less on the case (Especially since you want it more compact) and more on the motherboard tho. This is a micro ATX motherboard in a full size case. If it's your first build, using the tiny lil motherboard in a smaller case can be a bit of a headache tho especially with a beefy video card, so make sure you do your research to make sure everything will physically have room to fit.

Maybe grab 2x 8gb for the ram instead, too. 650w should be good, might want to bump it up a bit if you plan on upgrades down the road. If you're going to over-spend on anything, make it the power supply imo.
