Trying to come up with a gaming PC for my son and don't want to waste money on garbage parts due to my painfully outdated knowledge of game box parts. If there is someone hear willing to put a list of parts together for me so I can track them down and buy them for my son, that would be awesome. I'm hoping for around a grand price tag. If left up to me, I can see myself buying some shit ,only to find out a major malfunction with said part. I'm by no means made out of money and want to get it right the first time.

Gracias.

"Go Fuck Yourself!" There I got it out of the way for ya. ;)

It doesn't matter why they are cheap to buy, that's completely irrelevant. The fact is you get an absolute beast of a gaming machine for 500 bucks. Saying an absolute beast is not an exaggeration either, both the ps5 and series x are impressive by any standards.

Bottom line is if you just plan on primarily gaming it makes so much more sense to buy one of these new consoles.

If you need a PC for normal everyday use it still makes so much more sense to buy an Xbox series x and a mid range or inexpensive laptop.

You're still going to only be in half the price of what you would spend to build something equivalent in PC.

You can't really refute any of this stuff I'm saying. Building a $1,000 gaming PC right now is a terrible move, it will be crap if you can even find a GPU.

He

Doesn't

Want

A

Console

So here's what he can do, buy some cheaper, less powerful parts to just get a computer together and then upgrade parts as you can
