Hi, my dad needs a new pc something prebuilt like a dell or hp workstation kinda thing I think his budget is from anywhere to about 1000 pounds or 1350 dollars roughly but the cheaper the better it will be a workstation pc and he wants an SSD anywhere from 250gb up as he has external storage. If you have any ideas on a mid-range workstation with a decent amount of ram 8gb and up independent graphics are not a must but would be good. So if you have any options to a good fairly cheap mid-range but fast pc that would be great. I have built my own pc and I thought I might do the same for him but I am not that great a sourcing parts but I made a list anyway: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jamesfindlay3/saved/zRB9WZ and remember this is the Uk so stuff is more expensive than America in general and the shipping can be evil. And if you have any build guides if I did go down that route that would be great. Thanks!

I'm not too sure he uses it for photo editing web browsing and general multimedia use he also does a lot of accounting work with it like excel stuff and whatnot and he runs a business off of it as well.
