[Suggestion] Looking for gaming + everything pc

Ok so gaming + everything is a bit of a stretch but bare with me. I currently have been using my very old, very slow Alienware alpha gen 3. It's bad I know... So the last windows update was the final nail in the coffin. It legit froze trying to open the boot menu. RIP.

I am on a very tight budget and would need to pay using a payment plan like affirm. I have a relative who I die hard build it from scrab or buy second hand and upgrade a few parts. I don't want to have to do that. I don't mind buying a decent but not perfect prebuild with the mindset of upgrading a few pieces here or there. As long as it comes able to upgrade in the future I am good.

As for my gaming + everything here's the main rundown of what I use my computer for:

  1. Gaming. I love video games and am an avid fallout 4 player. I also enjoy games like the sims, burnout paradise, planet coaster, Minecraft, etc... I would be interested in newer games assuming the PC can handle it. My little alpha barely handled fallout 4 on a good day. My game style varies so some casual games but also some heavy fps games. So it would have to handle both.

  2. Music. I love my music and am still a physical media girlie so I would be ripping CDs to the PC a lot. I have an external cd drive so that's not an issue.

  3. Photos. I love photography and do some minor photo editing as needed. Nothing to fancy but like intermediate level editing at time.

  4. Office documents/ creative endeavors. I am the crazy kid that loved just playing around on PowerPoint and publisher for fun. Now it's mostly canva. But you need a flyer? I got you. Want an excel spreadsheet? I'm your girl. Etc..

  5. I browse the Internet. Nothing too crazy.

Please send ideas and help me out. I'm losing my mind not having a PC to get on. Phones just aren't the same.
