Hi Everyone.
It's been a very long time since I have been active on this forum, but it's the first place I thought of for some advice.
I want to get my 14 year old son a Gaming PC for Christmas. I've looked at a number of pre-built systems as technology has moved on so much since I last built a system. Unfortunately, prices seem to quite high when you consider the components and what is charged for a pre-built system. I'm happy to build a new system but don't want all the teething problems that comes with building a new system.
I wonder if you kind people can help me build a System for about £650.00. ($850 appx.)
So, he needs.
Case, PSU (guessing min of 550w), MB (with onboard Sound/LAN), CPU, Cooler, nVidia GTX (1050i), 8GB Ram, and Win10 (not sure what version or if that matters nowadays). I am an ASUS fan of old but I'm happy to use other manufacturers. Looking for as fast and reliable PC as I can get. I'm not bothered about overclocking, well, my son won't be.
He games at 1920 x 1080 for the time being hence why I have gone for the 1050i, albeit that keeps the cost down also.
Can you guys and Gals help out. I'm so out of touch with technology but this is the first and last place I'd come for advice as I really do appreciate the knowledge respect the enthusiasts on this forum.
I would appreciate any advice you could give.
