I'm building a gaming computer for my little son. It will be his 10 birthday's gift and it will be used mostly for gaming (Roblox and Fortnite the most played titles, but others will follow) and for school activities.
I already have 2 gaming PCs at home (one is mine and the other is for my elder son), both with quite high end specs, but this one will be on a tight budget, mostly because he still is a 10 years old boy...
This was what I already ordered on Amazon:
- Ryzen 3600X (I was looking for a 3600 but it is not available, not to speak about the vaporware 3300X )
- MSI B450M Mortar MAX (I'd prefer a B550, but there was a 30€ difference on the cheapest I could find, and much worse than the Mortar)
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 3000 MHz CL16 (I'd prefer a 3600 MHz set, but the price difference is really too much and they weren't in stock)
- WD SN550 NVMe M.2 SSD 500 GB
- Corsair CV650W PSU
- Thermaltake Versa H15 Windowed M-ATX case
- Asus GeForce PH-GTX 1660 OC 6 GB
The graphic card was my hardest choice, because the budget was quite limited. I need something to play 60 FPS at 1080P, with high details.
I'd like to buy a 5600XT or a 2060 but the prices were really too high.
In the next months I could pass to him one of our VGAs (5700XT or a 2070 Super) in case of upgrading to a new generation 3070...
What do you think ?
