Why don't you go in for a refurbed minipc or a laptop (good thinkpads are easily available). Typically, a laptop with an i5 (5th or 6th gen) with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD will be yours for around under 20K.

It will go down if you opt for lower ram and HDD (it is not worth skimping though).

All you need to do is add in a monitor.

Similar configurations are avialalbe in PCs too (much cheaper). You just need to check the motherboard specs to see if they support the GFX cards.
