I've been looking around now for a few weeks, but the market is so
confusing.
Money is not much of an object; well, let's say 5k GBP max.

Should I get one purpose-built? Or a new year bargain?

My gut feeling says 16GB RAM (DDR7); 500GB SSD with 2TB spinner; good
video card; i7 quad-core CPU.

Who knows better?

You are definitely on the right track.
CPU i7 7700K or thereabouts, Lots of choices.
Don't forget a good quality modular power supply around 750 watts and a
good CPU cooler. Air is OK, some prefer liquid.
Good IPS monitor 24 to 27 inch, I love my 27 inch.
I prefer to build mine but some buy ready made, up to you.
Keep us informed.

Happy new year Rene
