Best getting one made up custom spec which will be a beast compared to off the shelf ones and she won’t need to spend anywhere near 2k. My friend built mine. Cost me £1600 and blows the new iMacs away with its performance.

I would support the above suggestion.

You could try one of the custom build companies e.g. https://www.computerplanet.co.uk/

The following would be an excellent configuration. Above this, you would pay a lot extra for small returns in performance. Make sure the PSU is of very high quality - my favourites would be an EVGA G2 or G3 (both 80+ Gold efficiency and 10 year warranty) or superflower.

That’s a good spec above. Defo go for an i7 professor and not i5 and SSD drive too. With 32gb memory and 6gb graphics card, that will be a belter of a computer. I’d recommend a very good high end large size monitor too if she hasn’t got one already. One that’s good for photo editing.
