Need PC Recommendations for Creative Software and Gaming

-

Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for a good PC in the $500 to $700 range. I’m completely new to this, so I’d love some recommendations! The main programs I’ll be using are Adobe Creative Cloud and The Sims 4, so I need something that can handle those without any hiccups. Also, can I find a decent monitor on Amazon for around $100? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
