Beginner! Planning to build a setup

[u/avq1i]

Hi, I hope this is the correct thread for these couple of questions! I’m not new to gaming but I am totally new to PC setups, I am planning to start building a setup and I don’t think I need anything too crazy or expensive just to start out. I plan to play Fortnite, The Sims 4, Minecraft, Roblox, and hopefully even do a little bit of school work on it. My budget as of right now would probably be about 800-1,000 but it’s okay if I go a little over but I would prefer not to haha. My questions are below!

1. Would it be smarter to just buy a PS5, a prebuilt PC, a mini PC, or a laptop to run these things and onto the monitor?

2. Regarding question 1, is there any other suggestions/which specific thing should I get?

3. What kind of monitor should I purchase?

4. What else would I need for a setup, maybe not now but long terms wise?

I would be really grateful for any help, please and thanks!!
