After getting help with a PC for yours truly here I thought I would come back to get help for my Daughters xmas present.

We have a budget of £700 - £1000, after something that is going to last few years. Ideally it would need to run newer games decently and however much it hurts my soul Minecraft needs to run well. It also must be capable of wireless internet connection because at the moment I don't have a way to run a cable upto her room.

Also if possible I would like something that will handle graphics programs ok as she is a budding artist and I am looking at getting her a basic graphics tablet.

All help much appreciated

If you want to reduce costs, you could drop the SSD. It's easy enough to add one as a future upgrade.

The SSD won't help gaming performance, but it will make Windows and games installed on it load faster, and make using the PC 'feel' more responsive.

Looks good, might forgo the SSD - Are there any other cases that would be suitable, not keen on the seethrough side.
