Best budget desktop computers with 1TB SSD
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 1, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF (i5-9500, 16GB RAM) — the only one here that actually runs Windows 11 Pro, and its six-core i5 with 16GB is the most capable of the three. The catch: it ships with a 256GB NVMe drive, not 1TB, so you'd add a 1TB SSD yourself.
Who the others suit:
- HP ProDesk 6300 — if raw storage matters more than speed: it has a 1TB drive, but it's a spinning HDD, not an SSD, and no Windows 11 Pro.
- HP ProDesk 600 G1 (i5-4570, 8GB) — the cheapest way into a working desktop; small 250GB SSD, older CPU, no Windows 11 Pro.
Nothing here hits 1TB SSD and Windows 11 Pro together — expect to upgrade storage or licence on any of them.
