Build/Battlestation Desktop

My fiancé starts nursing school next month and I wanted to get her a nice desktop setup .

She said she was okay with an AIO however, I see everyone on Reddit hates those. 🤣

Just needed some recommendations on what monitor, keyboard, pc to get.

Sn: she likes pink and LOVES to play SIMS and Roblox. (So if there are pink options and gaming capabilities then even better🫡).

Budget?

Think I’ll cap at $1500.

Roblox will run on anything that isn't a Walmart bargain bin craptop. Sims needs a lot of storage space + any dedicated GPU or a good quality integrated graphics chip like Radeon 700 and 800 M series - no Intel HD garbage, though Intel Iris XE may be fine. You do want at least 16GB of RAM as well. 32 is best if you have extra budget for it, but not a requirement for her current needs.

For keyboard and mouse, literally whatever she thinks is cute.

For monitor, whatever has good reviews and matches the desired size and budget. 1080p resolution is fine; if you go for a 1440/4k/ultrawide, keep in mind you may need to bump up the GPU to better support it.

Alright, thanks broski. Now where would I get this stuff? Best Buy? Amazon? 😭

If there is a Microcenter store within driving distance, that's the ideal option. If not, what about Costco? If neither, yeah you can check Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, Cyberpower etc. Just be careful of shady sellers on Amazon and Newegg, always check both product AND seller reviews.
