OT: Looking for Computer Advice

Hey fellow TKP'ers. Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! I know many of you are really up on computer technology (which i'm not - even though i spend all day drawing on one as an architect.) My daughter is graduating High School in a couple of weeks and will be going to college in the fall for Marketing/Business. The wife and I want to buy her a good desktop (PC not Mac) and monitor for her to use in college as a graduation present. (The school will be giving her a laptop to use for classes). She is also into gaming (almost exclusively minecraft right now). We don't want to 'build' a computer and would like to get something pretty much ready to go out of the box with the exception of having to install Office suite, Norton etc. We've usually had HP or Dells for ourselves. I'm assuming we will need to spend $1,000+ ?? Do you all have any suggestions a particular product we should look at, or on minimum hard drive, RAM, graphic card sizes, etc? Im assuming we should be looking for at least 1Tb drive and 16? 32? Gigs of ram?
Any thoughts you all might have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
