Hi Clive.
I was in a similar position last year, where my aged pc which I built myself could no longer keep up with the tasks I was giving it.
Looked into getting a 27" iMac but thought I'd see if I could build a similar machine for less money. The main reasons for doing this were we're the fact I know windows pretty well and have all the software for that platform. The more obvious one was budget.
I went for the dell xps 8300 with the i5 processor, 6gig of ram, 2 x tb raid drives and a 23" led monitor, I now have purchased a second 23" monitor to have duel screens. This lot came to around £1200 which was about £500 cheaper Than the iMac. This machine is amazing. My workflow is super fast and efficient where as before I spent most of my time tapping my fingers on the desktop waiting.
You can go on the dell website and custom build the spec you want which is helpful.
