Wouldn't you prefer not to choose a Mac? You could start with a basic Mini model featuring the new M4PRO chip for $1400, then add a third-party 2TB drive for an additional $250 that you can install yourself. All set! Oh, and it measures just 5"x5"x3".

These Microcenter bundles appear to be overly complicated for a standard office computer.

But it is nice to have a quick pc.
To my mind, that comes from a SSD for the C drive, and a fast single thread processor.
The op's pc will not stop working when support ends. It will still be as good as it is today.
He will not get new windows features. Are there any must haves in W11?

I will pay good money for something I will see and touch every day.

For a 10-year-old rig, going overkill isn't necessarily a problem, particularly considering the cost. You might opt for an i3 12100, DDR4, which is slightly cheaper but will wear out faster compared to others.
