Is switching to an Apple Mac Mini out of the question ? If not I would seriously consider the Mac Mini...
Because Starting @ $700 the M1 chip mini will run exponential circles around the intel i5.-i7 is said to out perform the i9 as well,,, performance wise for both audio and video applications . Given you can factory upgrade the SSD to 1 TB and still be just above $1k

And with Apples October Event happening tomorrow the 18th (if they announce an M1X chip set for the Mini ) the M1's may go on sale

If I had not purchased a new iMac last December I would getting a mac Mini
That's an excellent suggestion. Add an decent quality external SSD and you've got a much more powerful computer than any PC of equivalent cost.
Of course, there's a learning curve in moving to a Mac, but that's not impossible to manage and is just a matter of getting used to things being done a bit differently.
