would like a dedicated windows machine for other work.

Then why spend all that money on a Mac in the first place if all you want is a PC?

It is not a good idea to remove OSX to make your Mac a Windows PC. You will not get hardware driver updates, Mac security updates,...

Running Windows in Boot Camp is the same as running Windows on a Windows PC and you still have the advantages of OSX if you ever want to boot into OSX. Keeping OSX allows you to independently boot into Windows or OSX. So when running Windows it is not even evident that you are not running on a Windows PC.
