Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

i really need a deal on a high end all-in-one PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit:

Preferably a decent sized SSD (like 1tb) or an SSD and a 102TB handdrive. Dedicated graphics ok, but want newest gen i7.

At least 8gb ram ,but prefer 16gb.

touchscreen is nice, but in no way necessary.

Decent speakers a plus.

No known major overheating issues.

I think that about covers it!

No set budget, but would like to stay below $1k, really want to be able to show the client a decent "deal".

I think that the pros here will agree with me that you def don't want a AIO if u need  highend. They are extremely hard to upgrade and fix.

(not that I know of one, but) Elaborating on "high-end" may make it easier to find you a deal. Your usage and budget for this machine.

I am comfortable taking them apart and fixing/upgrading. This client specifically wants an all-in-one.

Updated above. Thanks!

Usage is browsing, some bookkeeping, word processing and a few other medium load programs. Nothing too crazy in terms of usage, but this person wants super fast and responsive.

I think your price is illusions for what you say. Keep in mind that a 1TB SSD is in itself like $400!

Budget is fairly flexible as long as I can show her she is getting a nice deal. Also the SSD is not a deal breaker.

This is a nice piece https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Ideacentre-700-Multi-touch-Processors/dp/B01GX8ZPAM (there are not a lot this range AIOs at all to compare the price with, but I think that it is a very good price for what you get. And the no-tax is some pretty dollars for such an expensive thing.)

It is a good machine and very very good price. I don't think you can hope for better in this price range.
