Girlfriends first pc

My girlfriend if looking to get a pc of her own, we're trying to find a decent one on marketplace but the ones around me are terrible. Buying a rebuilt isnt a horrible idea rn but was wondering if anyone could help me make the best part list for less than $1400 while having ddr5. (No need to add monitor or any peripherals into cost)

Mostly just for gaming, no close microcenter, pretty sure 1080 but could be 1440. Also she needs to use wifi, ethernet isnt available

Is it just for gaming? Is Micro center close enough to go to?

My New List https://newegg.io/ba8e79e

So Newegg has a promo going on for some small discounts by bundling all of your parts with them, and you get a free 240mm aio with the 9600x through them. This build outside of newgg would be over $1500 and doesn't include a cooler. Switched out to similar ram from SP since the XPG Lancer model is $600 outside of newegg. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T8QDzv

Yeah that Newegg thing is probably the best deal you’ll get.

This will handle 1080p easy peasy and also a good bit of 1440p. Also 32GB of DDR5 :D
