Hi all! I have had and iMac for about 4-5 years for office use and sadly it is getting very slow. Since it is my office computer, I really dismissed the slowness but I now compare it to my gaming rig and it is crawling. That's why I would like some advice for an ultra fast office PC build. My budget is around $1000. Again, I would like to emphasize the fact that this is for OFFICE USE ONLY and NOT FOR GAMING but still needs to be ULTRA FAST. Mini-ITX would be preferred.
Thanks All :)

you can also go with an i3 dual core but I just threw in the i5 just in case.
