Hello, my girlfriend is looking to buy a new pc so was wondering if someone could help me with her build.

Would prefer an AMD build
Uses: gaming / recording
Case

PCS SPECTRUM RGB MID TOWER CASE (WHITE)​

Also would need a monitor and keyboard (but not required)

What monitor does she have resolution & refresh rate or make and model

Any specific reason you want that case? It's a very cheap budget case and not one we would recommend

We can certainly help with a build though it's a nice budget for a really good long lasting 1080p with room to move to 1440p in future

If she really wants a white case you can pick up the white Corsair 4000D Airflow on Amazon relatively cheap, send that to PCS and have them use that?

It's a great case and looks fantastic. Anyways I'll post a build below here shortly

This is what I would do in your shoes.

The build from Stevey looks fantastic!

Just thought I’d add some thinking outside the box with cases - the front panel easily pops off of the 4000D Airflow Stevey has recommended and Corsair now sells these front panels seperately(I believe they’re about £5). You could have the case sent to PCS then in the meantime purchase a front panel from Corsair and paint it pink, giving a similar pink and white look that the Spectrum has that she likes to a higher end case without voiding any warranties? Again, a bit of out the box thinking, but may (or may not) be helpful!

You can also just install RGB fans in the front and make them pink?
