Yes, I think that's fair, though we might have to wait another year or so, possibly even a bit more time, if things don't work out right now and what they are working on changes.
Thanks to everyone for their ideas! It seems like all the games she loves right now work fine on the system. We should wait a while until things get too slow, then we can try putting her on something better. I'm thinking about adding more space just in case. Any tips you have?
I love the Inland Performance drives from microcenter. They have a 6-year warranty, are designed using TLC technology, and you can check them out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CL...us...ive-329474
It looks like the boot drive is a solid state drive, and there's a storage drive that's also SS. Like other's said, no need to swap one or add one unless you need it. You probably won't actually feel much of a difference if you do change the boot drive. Leave the computer just the way it is - use it until she wants to play a game the GPU struggles with. Then sell it to a kid in grade school for $3-400 with the monitor. Then build a brand new SFF unit like I have that would be a great upgrade for years. (Had I waited a month or so I would've used a SFF case that the AIO actually fits inside of!)
