You guys rock 

@GoldenLag
 
i suggested  The gaming pro Carbon as it comes with built in wifi ( op added a wifi card) and it’s a very high quality board. If choosing Tomahawk you’ll need to buy a seperate one and I thought kids might like the extra added rgb of the GPC  (also saw budget OP was using and thought this would fit nicely in.)

PSU has OCP related issues. Would suggest avpiding in favor of other options. 
 
Depends on which board you are comparing, but in general x570 is pretty good, doesnt mean x470 is not. 
 
You can run a 16 core just fine on a tomahawk, so i dont see a reason why you will need a better board.

Cost lowering, and changes in terms of need. This will be more than fine.

sorry but a X570 is definitely not needed here.

Unless he's playing heavily modded Skyrim, 16 is fine.
 
With the 2700, he'll upgrade platforms before he upgrades using that board.  VRM's?  For stock 2700?  VRM's only come into play with overclocking.  For his needs, and 99% of gamers, a B450 would be more than fine for over $50 less.
 
If he wants higher end stuff, sure.  Trying to save some money by not spending on things he doesn't need at all.

32GB of ram is a nice luxury to have, and it's never bad to get a newer, nicer motherboard for future upgrade potential.

I made some changes that I think would far improve your build:

- Ram kit is cheaper and will perform just as well
- Skip out on Hard Drives, SSD prices are falling rapidly and you won't need 3.5TB of storage for what you're doing
- The P400A is a much more modern, airflow-focued case for a similar price. RGB fans are $25 extra
- Power Supply is cheaper and will do just as well
- Get Windows from a grey-market site like SCDKey, you'll save $100 or more
 

Hi,
maybe something like this.
left cpu and GPU out as you already own them (right?)
 
16GB is plenty although if you want you can always go with 32GB.
 
this motherboard has built in wifi and has good Vrm cooling. 
550W model of the Rmx will be plenty (high quality unit too).
 
left the rest as is

pre-built computer motherboards and why they are built different from there builder motherboard counterparts?

the only thing i would do is add a DAC to run directly to the stereo for what i would consider a better sound for me

450w should be fine, but it will be cutting it close. If you wanted to purchase a new one, I would get 550w 

speeds are dictated by a your ISP, internet / network card, type of wire, and lastly your router. you might get better speeds but if your plan has a speed cap say 15 mbps even with a top end router that will be the max you can get in perfect condensations.

that's on the low end for online gaming, especially if you play FPS or strategy.

Also check all power connectors (PSU side and hardware side). I once had random restarts because a connector wasn't fully plugged in.

well then personally it's a throwaway. as with anything that move ware happens and in the coolant metal in PPM and absorption of chemicals in the rubber add to the ware. so every coolant system should be changeable in my opinion.

nvm, sorry i fixed it by messing around like an idiot

my Corsair CX 750m is a great PSU and i paid 45 USD for it. check out you local computer supply store they might have a PSU in back in a box that you might be able to get for a deal

GTX 780 or 780TI are good can't run super high end games on high but can run older titles great

Coming from a small streamer: 
YOU DON'T NEED AN EXPENSIVE MIC
YOU NEED PLUGINS
(Step by step below)
if you use OBS, open it and go to your Mixer
Click the gear cog next to the audio device for your microphone (Probably labeled "Mic/Aux")
Click Filters
Click the plus at the bottom, and add these three in this order : Noise Gate, Noise Suppression, Compressor
Try the default settings for all three and record yourself through OBS. Listen back to it and change settings as needed. 
I can explain what all of these do as well if needed.

thanks

just note that GTA 5 eats up a lot of space and if you use mods it will take more. but Congrats on the new PC!
