Wondering where to get a new PC from and what kind of specs I should expect at this price point. (I'm guessing at least a 1660S or equivalent graphics card )

Open to all suggestions here. Could build myself but seems quite hard to source everything at the moment and don't mind paying the extra money to have it all done for me.

PBTech, Computer Lounge, playtech, + heaps more online stores that do premades

all list PC's on their site and all are much of a muchness pricing wise. and for 2k you could probably squeeze in a 2070 depending on what else you want/need

To determine 'best' you'd have to at least let us know what your requirements are? Gaming? CAD? Video Editing, etc? All of those would pritoritize potentially different componenents. Do you need a screen? If so, what size? Do you want 100+hz?

And on that line of thinking, what do you have now and what is deficient about it? Computers haven't got much faster over the last decade. In fact unless you're running intensive multi-threaded applications there is often little benefit to the CPU in a $2000 prebuilt desktop PC over an LGA1155 platform from a decade ago.
