                    Hi
My 16yr old daughter is interested in building her own PC.
We'd like to give her a gift to get started - one for xmas that could be under the tree. But, it seems, the more I read, the more that this is such an individualized process. Should we just get her a gift certificate? Are there starter kits? She loves minecraft and that is what she'd use it for primarily.
Thanks for any advice or help.

 Greetings. There aren't really any kits, now we do have a Build Your Own section in store where you can work with a sales person in store to help pick out all the parts needed. We also have some helpful guides here on our community forum for building as well:Kelly said:Hi
