I'm looking to help out an older colleague by building them a solid gaming PC for under $1,000. They mentioned they want something that's capable of gaming as well as handling some office tasks. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for parts or prebuilt options that fit the budget. Any recommendations would be great!

While there aren't exact build kits, plenty of YouTube guides can help you find the best performance per dollar for just under $1,000. Definitely check those out!
If you live near a Micro Center, check it out! They offer awesome combo deals that can help you snag parts for a great price, but you’ll need to go in-store to benefit from those deals.
If you can slightly stretch your budget to about $1,081, I've got a solid parts list that would outperform any prebuilt in that price range. But if you absolutely need to stay under $1,000, I've got a more budget-friendly setup you can consider for around $985.55. It includes a Ryzen 5 7600, a solid GPU, and 32GB of RAM. Let me know and I can share the parts list!
Exactly! I've heard those in-store deals are unbeatable, especially for beginners looking to build their first PC.
