Some of the new ultrawide monitors let you treat them as two logical monitors.
My last PC build, I actually went the other way. I got a fully modular PSU and went down to a Mini-ITX case and board. It's glorious. Tiny little box.
Assembly was actually much harder than I anticipated. I worked in data centers for years before I moved to my current position — I can literally assemble a PC (or server) in seconds once I get the parts on-hand. This probably took me about 30 minutes, because I had connectors and parts (especially that dang M2) on both sides of the board in the chassis, so I couldn't just install the board and build UP from it. Also, no quick-releases - they take up space that's at a premium. Screws are nice and small.

I'd suggest a full ATX tower. The cable management is amazing. I can't believe I stuck to mid-towers forever.

How much is 10TB of cloud storage these days? I haven't priced it because my internet speeds are slow enough it would
