Current best build Desktop PC for PowerBI

[Martin_MG]

I was asked to provide the desktop that I would want to use for PowerBI. I use a standard office pc now. I have been using PBI for 3 years now. I can’t do too much to speed up my connections to my data sources. I would like the better possible option to increase my calculation speed when the data is loaded and i am working with transforming the data. I don’t know if there is an out of the box desktop model that is good? Budget less than 5k. 

Sincerely,

Martin

My Power BI reports run slowly and freeze frequently, even though I have good specifications on my PC. What can I do

Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1265U 1.80 GHz Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)

@Martin_MG , You need at least 8GB of RAM /prefer (16GB)  Intel i5 or i7  7th gen +

I am using a 16GB Intel Core i7, 8th gen laptop

This is what I am reading in the blogs. If dealing with a large data set, transformations and calculations. It is better for focus on a faster processor than cores, solid state RAM with 64 gig or more.
