I'd buy the new PC so that your own PC can actually be your own still and your work stuff can be relegated to that new PC.
There's plenty of really good reason to not mix work and pleasure on your main PC, your employer or school effectively taking ownership of your main, personal system being one big one.
Optionally, I'd also just start looking for new work if you work for a BYOD place.
yeah... unfortunately, this is what I ended up doing. I guess I knew I'd have to leave this job eventually, but I'm really loving remote work.
they ended up having seemingly absurd requirements (I9 processor or greater) for what's basically a desktop phone. I guess it's a bargain... we're getting a good processor out of it. my partner thankfully knows how to build PCs.
An i9 for a work PC? Seriously? What did they think you were going to do, compile massive amounts of code all day? Even my current CPU, an R5 4500, is probably overkill for basic office tasks (but it's perfectly adequate for gaming on if you're not interested in the latest AAA slop), and it's truly a low-end part, but an i9 or R9 for basic office tasks is ridiculous.
ikr? as far as I know, the most taxing program on it would be a VoIP. I guess maybe it's an attempt to get them to last as long as possible? that's my only guess.
