Gaming PC for sister (beginner so any help appreciated)
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

My little sister has been wanting a gaming PC for years and keeps begging me. She plays games like stardew valley, roblox, minecraft (with mods), sims (with mods), tears to fathom, steam games. She'll likely also use it to listen to spotify, use google chrome, regular internet things (youtube, search engines). She really likes pink, sage green, and prefers cleaner aesthetics so these colors prefered.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

My budget is max 1350 (willing to budge if needed). Ideally, less is better but willing to go higher for durability, performance, color.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Around the 15th

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc\)

She has a monitor and keyboard/mouse, need everything else. Would love any recommendations on keyboard and mouse though. She really likes the keyboard to have a mechanical, clic clac touch.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

United States. I live in Chicago but family is in Austin, TX. Willing to travel in the city if needed. But likely to ship to TX if needed

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

As far as I know, she has an apple monitor/keyboard/trackpad.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Not sure what this means, so any helps is appreicated!

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I'm really new to all this, but I want overall the pc to perform well graphics wise, have large storage, and be durable

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

She really wants a pink/sage green/clean aesthetic.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

Willing to add to budget.

I'm really new to building PCs. The only experience I have is from watching Connor (CDawgVA) build one during the trash taste and one of the three guy's PC not turning on.
