Buying is probably your best bet... the motherboard and psu are usually
the sore spots on pre-built. Unfortunately, video cards are all but
impossible to come by right now, and have been for over a year and a half.
Probably sufficient for 5+ years, the OS drive and/or the supplemental
drive are both a little small depending on the games she plays or will
want to play in the future.
System above should pair with a good 1440p monitor, most games at
mid-high settings at 90+ fps.
