Default Off-the-shelf Desktop for £1300 max?

Morning everyone,

Sorry to ask this if it's already been covered elswhere but is anyone able to recommend an all-in-one desktop set-up for about £1200 (£1300 max) please, that would fulfill these requirements:

- good editing performance
- neat, slimline appearance (i.e. no big bulky base unit)
- very reliable/good build quality
- quite nicely designed (I have a problem with ugly-looking PCs hehe!)

I guess I've just pretty much described an Apple imac haven't I hehe?!

But as I've only ever used PCs I'm worried that I will find it hard to adapt to the environment and also that some software, websites, etc may be incompatible with macs still? Apologies for my ignorance here but I'm not a techie.

So is there as PC that can fulfill these requirements too, so that I can compare it against an imac in-store and see which I would prefer?

As I say, I'm not going to be able to build anything myself so I'm looking for an off-the-shelf package that I can just install the software and go hehe! £1200 is a lot of money for me and I can't afford to bungle my choice!

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers,
SebastianM.
