Budget PC for Revit

I need a cheap PC for my daughter to use Revit for a high school architecture internship. She has a nice MAC but it's not running Revit well with alternative PC desktop. Her school will not let her download Revit on her school computer. And I don't want to buy a nice PC until she knows where she is going to college. For some schools she needs to buy a computer through the architecture program.  Thank you for any advice.

You basically look at a budget gaming PC. 

 

An AMD AM5 6-8-core and something like a Nvidia 4060 and 32GB RAM. Could also do an older AM4 platform with 16GB RAM. 

Revit Version: R2026.4.2
Hardware: i9 14900K, 64GB, Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada 16GB
Add-ins: ElumTools; Ripple-HVAC; ElectroBIM; Qbitec

You write cheap and budget, what's your budget? I've been pleasantly surprised at how productive I've been able to be over the years with a very modest HP Envy laptop, 17". They go for $800-1200 depending on specs. Regardless, buy as much RAM and processor as your wallet can stand and it should suffice.

What about Remote Access?

Point is, don't invest in a PC for her. MAC users don't convert that easily. PC will be an obstacle - not a lure.
