2025 Prebuilt Desktop Gaming

[Chuckeee]

Little background first. My daughter is graduating from college and for her graduation present she wants a gaming PC Desktop as a graduation present. She will be living on her own so I want to get her a prebuilt system (I realize this increase the cost significantly). She has been using various Mac laptops so she knows she wants a windows desktop.

Based on my work experience I will NOT ever buy any HP product ever again, any other reputable brand is fine. Looking at a maximum budget of no more than $4000 (although less will be nice). Since she will have to squeeze the system into a corner of a shared apartment, just a 24” - 27” display and a system that doesn’t sound like a jet engine at takeoff. Hopefully a system with stay power, reliability, that would be good for while without constant upgrades.

Looking for thoughts, suggestions, recommendations.

Thanks.

I ordered from Origin PC and AVADirect in 2021, during the lockdown. My Chronos (V2) had the impressive cable management tech tubers note about Origin. AVADirect had good, not great/amazing, assembly quality. To be fair, the lack of attention to detail could realistically be somewhat forgiven during that period. I’ve never utilized (their) customer support, thus won’t reflect on that.

Avadirect is rated "Poor" with 2.4 / 5 on Trustpilot

That's not possible without telling us what kind of games she likes, whether she values high resolution and/or high framerates, whether HDR is important to her, should the $4000 include the display, mouse and keyboard, what about headphones or speakers, any special controllers like flightsticks or steering wheels needed, for the storage requirements we should know whether she plays 3 games or 300, and which country are you in?
