Computer specification suggestions?

Hi,
I love using my SDRPlay with SDRUNO and SDRConsole. I have been using them on my surface pro with the i7 processor and 16Gb ram. I don't believe the surface has a dedicated graphics card. I find my computer works very hard to process the signal at full 10 Mhz of bandwidth and constantly drops out.
Now, I am investigating a small form factor computer that can satisfactorily process the 10Mhz of bandwidth without a hiccup, but I want to keep the price low... What should I be looking for in specs without going crazy. I'd like it to cost no more than $300 max. Any suggestions? Should I be looking for a dedicated graphics processor that supports CUDA like SDRConsole suggests? I hope to find a PC that I can dedicate to SDR.
Thanks,
Jared
