Budget (including currency): 2100 AUD

Country: Australia.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily going to be used as a work station. Virtual machines,network engineer related stuff and things; calls meetings, browsing. May be used by kids to play minecraft/lol. Low demand gaming applications.

Other details Upgrading from a 10yr old all in one HP system; literally only used as a monitor. It's a gift for my dad "the network engineer" so I don't know anymore details.

 

Connectivity is key, will be using ethernet, however good wifi would be important. Speakers, mic and camera options would be much appreciated. A nice monitor would be a plus.

 

Please send any and all recommendations, very appreciative of all recommendations and builds.

When are you planning to buy this system, as you may know, there is a gpu shortage and prices are insane right now. Unless you can get parts at or near msrp, I would just stick to buying a prebuilt.

Yeah, figured I might be able to find something you guys recommended at a decent price. I'd be willing to postpone for 6 months, however, I'd really like to get it done by Christmas or sooner.

You don't need too spend $2100 on a system for what you are doing, hell a 5600G would be enough here.
