Need help picking a laptop!

[joelceckard]

I'm mainly a pc gamer and I want to get my gf into the pc world because she mainly plays xbox one :/. So I'm helping her look for a laptop which can handle new titles with ease as well as completing school work. The budget is $1000 and the catch is she is only able to buy it at Bestbuy. If you can point me in the right direction it would help tremendously. Thanks!

It it easy to add the ssd? Is it cheap enough to stay within the budget? Is there a way to prevent the ssd from overflowing? She isn't very good with computers and simplicity is key for her haha

250gb ssd is 100 dollars+- im sure they can add that to the laptop at bestbuy.
