I'm looking for a budget-friendly PC as a birthday gift from my parents, and I have a specific configuration in mind. Here are the specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i3-10100F
- Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 256GB SSD + 1TB Hard Drive
- Motherboard: MSI B460M
- Power Supply: High Power 500W 80+ Bronze
- Case: CoolerMaster Q300L
- OS: Windows 11 Pro Activated
- WiFi and Bluetooth built-in
It's priced at $400. I'm not sure if this setup is good or if I should look for something else. Any advice?

Don't worry too much! If you ever decide you want a better graphics card later on, you can totally upgrade it when you get more experience. It's a good starting point, especially for 400 bucks!
The specs look solid for the price, but I think the only real concern is the GTX 1060. Support for the drivers on the 10 series might be an issue down the line. Just keep that in mind when you consider upgrades in the future.
