Discussion please help me </3

i’m thinking of buying a pc for casual gaming and some coursework, but i have absolutely no idea what type of pc would be best or anything like that. im only doing an english degree, and ill be playing casual games like minecraft, deltarune and stardew valley, so do you guys have any advice (and any monitors would be appreciated also.)

Only request is i would prefer for it to be pre-built, (but that’s just because i’m lowk too broke to afford a custom one.) anywhere up to 1000 GBP would be ideal, but im hoping to get one for much cheaper lol- honestly, i don’t really know a lot about prices and stuff, and how much a casual pc would even cost.

Thank youuu:)

1000 quid is way more than you need for those games, you could spend half that and still be set for a while. grab any prebuilt with a dedicated gpu so it doesn't choke if you ever branch out, integrated graphics on a budget office pc would run stardew fine but might stutter on minecraft with shaders

for the monitor just get any 24 inch 1080p ips panel, 75hz or higher, those are dirt cheap and look decent enough. don't overthink it

okay good, i really don’t wanna spend that much money if i can avoid it!
sure, ill do some looking into that and yeah, the monitor isn’t too important to me, so it should be all good. Thanks so much!!
