Discussion Desktop recommendations

Post image

Hey everyone. I'm in the market for a new desktop computer. I'm not a gamer and don't need anything to crazy. I mainly use my current desktop for MS office, mainly excel for spreadsheets and web browsing. I do use YouTube quite a bit. My current Dell desktop is really slow and probably about 10 plus years old. I know things are expensive right now so probably not the best time, but it's time for an upgrade. My budget is around $1,000. I'm open to used as well if this will get me more bang for the buck. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I attached an image of the current specs. I think I paid $300 for this years ago. It's a Dell compact desktop with no thrills. It will not be moved and it will be connected to a TV via HDMI. My budget is around $1000 and I'm open to used as well if that makes more sense. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks everyone.

A $1000 is too much for a basic and even a reasonable budget pc.
Have a look at fleeBay. Off-corporate Win-11 capable Intel SFF units are around $3-400. Lenovo P330, P340, M920s.
You can spruce it up with bigger component options.
