Please help.

[friend1355]

Budget (including currency): $1200AUD but as little as possible

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly just as a general home office, but also want it to handle some light gaming for my wife.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

1. Budget & Location

Sydney, Australia. 

2. Aim

Just a basic home office PC able to do some light gaming for my wife. mostly just turn based strategy games and things like among us, picopark, minecraft etc.

3. Monitors

Just 1 for now (maybe 2 if possible but not essential) 1080p 75hertz IPS screen

4. Peripherals

I have sufficient existing peripherals. I haven't planed to buy windows yet will just run it unregistered until I can afford the fee. 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I want a 2nd PC for the family to use, to free up my PC for gaming again and i am also trying to get my wife into gaming so we have something to do together in lockdown.  

 

GPUs are so crazy expensive so i am thinking i can survive on the integrated graphics until prices are more reasonable again but am keen for alternative suggestions in my budget range.
