New Build

[JoshAD1015]

Hello Everyone, 

 

I am trying to build a PC for my wife, I dont really have an idea on where to start. The PC doesn't need to be fancy, my wife's line of gaming consists of minecraft. So I want to build a PC that can handle that very well, possibly others more demanding. My budget isn't huge but I am willing to spend more if need be. If you could point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

"My budget isn't huge" can mean a different thing for everyone. Could you provide a rough idea of the amount you'd ideally like to spend?

Off your post alone my thoughts go to a lower end Ryzen cpu and something like a 1650 super.
