I'm in desperate need of a new desktop PC after someone was kind enough to break into my home and take a hammer to all my hardware they couldn't carry, including my previous PC Specialist build.
I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me.
Max budget is 2k but the more value for money, the better.
I'll be using it primarily for WordPress development, UX/UI design on Figma, and general frontend development (HTML, CSS, Javascript, frameworks, etc.).
I play Football Manager 2024 (and no doubt future iterations) quite a lot in my spare time.
For the time being, I'll be pairing the PC with my old LG UltraWide 29WK500 29-inch IPS Monitor (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079SJ36Y8/). But I will be upgrading to a 1440p ultrawide IPS monitor at some point.
For extra storage, I have an unscathed 2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA-III 3.5" HDD which I'll install.
I've once again gone with the Fractal Define 7 tower case as I loved how quiet my previous PC was.
In my usage case, would I benefit from two 1TB M.2 SSD drives rather than one 2TB? And is the cooling sufficient?
