...Depends on what you want out of it....of the applications you list, with the exception of Siril, none of them are particularly resource hungry....
a core i5 or ryzen 5 of any description would do....
Siril needs a relatively good processor and some decent memory,
so a fairly recent core i7 or ryzen 7 with at least 32GB RAM should rip along...a m2 SSD will make the OS nice and snappy, with a big HDD to store all the data...
GPU is optional - as far as i am aware none of these apps use the GPU for processing - happy to be corrected on that...
Even an i7/Ryzen 7 type should be buildable for comfortably cheaper than your budget of one Gorilla.
I have to replace my old desktops before October (When w10 support runs out) so i have been researching this a bit...
I am actually considering buying a refurbished Small Form Factor ex-office machine - these are all over ebay and are around the $500 mark.
These are fairly small, self-contained and easy to move if you dont want to leave it in the obs....and would already have an OS installed.
