Hey @Klaatu

Whether it's a good spec will depend a lot on what you're planning to do with the PC, with that said, if you're mostly planning on using it for web browsing, office tasks, perhaps some photo editing and light gaming you should find that that's a more than reasonable spec that should run Windows 11 well and probably the next version of Windows if/when released.

Potentially in a few years time 16GB of RAM might not be quite enough, but that's relatively easy to upgrade as and when.

Thanks for the input. It would be used for just normal home/office tasks. My last PC lasted 15 years (and was never overworked), so if this lasts at least half of that I'll be happy. Thanks again 😉
