The best overall desktop is the one that will work for the most amount of people, and that’s the Dell XPS 8930 SE. On the exterior, it’s not flashy, but it’s a conservative desktop that would fit in as easily as a cubicle or home office.
Regardless of what configuration you choose, you’ll find something that matches your needs, but the base model is a good place to start. A six-core Core i5 processor and a discrete GTX 1650 GPU is nothing to scoff at, and should handle most of what you throw at it with relative ease. Importantly, it features a 256GB SSD M.2 boot drive and a 1TB HDD for quick-loading apps and plenty of hard storage.
From there, if you want a better photo and video editing machine, you can jump up to a Core i9-9900K processor for extra cores. Or to pivot more towards gaming, you can upgrade all the way up to an RTX 2080 Super. The best part? Despite being fairly small and portable, everything is modular and upgradable for future expansions.
