She's mainly using it for the sims, some youtube/movies, and modded minecraft. We have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and all peripherals. Her current PC probably has no usable parts other than the case, but she wants the fancy lights blah blah.

I'm thinking maybe 2x 8gb ddr4 2400, a 1050?, a ryzen 5 1600 and throw in a ssd? Will need opinions on a mobo also.

I'm somewhat new to this so please don't crucify me lol

You nailed it surprisingly
Ryzen needs fast ram though, 3000 mhz+, can to 8gb if out of budget

Able to help me pick one of these in Canada? Also is the gpu sufficient as a mini?
