Hi again. I was recently helped here with my new PC (running great btw) now I'd like advice on what I'm ordering for my wife.
Budget: £1100 - £1200
Purpose: Gaming, with the top end being Baldur's Gate 3
Monitor: 1080p
BG3 is the top end of what she is going to play. Its super rare that she plays a AAA game that requires a lot of power. Normally its just clicker, point and click and Lord of The Rings Online she plays.
This isn't a pc that needs wiggle room for big upgrades in the future and she's not bothered about gaming at 1440p or higher.
I've no idea about what CPU cooler is suitable and a case that supports an internal DVD drive is essential. Thanks.
