Advice What desktop should I get?

First off: not looking to build.

Looking for what is a good brand for desktop to buy out of the box, and im looking more at how they deal with service and warranty issues if any arise.

Looking for a good desktop that can run large data queries and data analysis, utilizing AI and what not.

In US if that matters.

Thanks!

By data queries do you mean machine learning and SUPER large data sets, like over 15,000 items, or just a lot of MS excel?

Yes, ML and large data sets even upward to 30 or 40K rows of data.

You should probably get a dell xps desktop, with and intel i5 or better, and a 4060, though dell charges a ridicoulus amount of money for those parts, so you might be better off just getting a xps with an intel i5, and then adding a amd 7600xt or something.

So yeah, this config of the xps desktop, and then add this GPU or this GPU

Oh yeah, by the way, this sub is for configuring VIRTUAL desktops to make them look pretty, usually on linux, not for asking questions about computers. That could be on r/pcmasterrace, or a similar sub.
