    i just talked to the dad and we discussed dulling the case down but he still wants RGB's on the keyboard and mouse and mouse pad. that will save some money. im going to research a little more tonight and see about putting that 3600 and either a 2070 or the AMD equivalent. i cant remember the number right now and ive got to go. thanks for the advice

    it is for me. i take my computer apart to "clean" it every 6 months. it usually doesnt need to be cleaned i just like taking it apart and putting it back together lol

    i completely agree. im going to talk to them about that but i have a feeling that he will have to learn about that the hard way like a lot of us have had to. looks may or may not be a factor i will find out soon and if i can cut cost on cosmetics i will and get him more performance.

    thanks for the info i will look into all of this as soon as i get the time. the 2060 was to compliment the mother board. just for aesthetics as he said he wanted a lot of RGB lights but i know exactly what you mean. the 4TB drive was only $15 more than the 2 and over the years i have found that there is never too much space cause i keep running out myself lol. but i see where money can be saved there. with the monitor i was thinking there would be better ones out there so im still looking but i really wanted to get one with high refresh rates. but yea i have an IPS monitor and it makes TN monitors look like toys so i know what you mean. i didnt realize i forgot a cooler. ill definately have to figure out something for that. good catch. with the PSU i only chose it because i bought one for a friend a couple of years ago and it was reliable. i used to have a lot of trouble with PSU's years back so im cautious about buying anything i havent used myself if you know what i mean. I'm not new to this forum btw. i joined over 6 years ago but i havent posted anything since. ive been working a lot and kind of got out of the PC building thing the past couple of years. i have a co worker who told me about his kid and he was going to buy a gaming PC from walmart and thats what got me looking back into it because i just couldnt let him do that.lol thank you for your post and taking the time to recommend some changes. it looks like i have some more research to do.

    i will keep all this in mind and thank you for your help

    nice build. one of the reasons i went with the amd 2600 and the nvidia 2060 was because the keyboard and mouse have to be included in the cost. i noticed that you didnt include that in your picks so thats why i bring it up. the rx 5700 that keeps getting brought up is priced higher than the 2060 as well, if i buy one that is cheaper than the one i picked of course so im a little torn between those two. windows has to be included but i have a copy i can give them thats legit.

    i must say that i just went back and read all of my replies and i see no argument from me so im just going to assume that you were trolling me
  8. hardware junky
    i wasnt trying to argue. i was trying to ask questions. sorry if it seemed that way but i have stated several times im looking at the performance difference in those two cards so i dont know if you read all the comments but i have been saying that several times and thank you for taking the time to help me out with this. the only reason why im on here is because i stopped keeping up with current hardware about 3 years ago and i am taking all recommendations in account so that i can get "this kid" a good value for his money.

    why wouldnt that CPU be able to play at 165fps?
  10. hardware junky
    im looking into performance differences on that card now. thanks for the recomendation
  11. hardware junky
    thank you i will look into that and check out wht you recomended

    also i run raytracing on the new metro game and it runs really good at 1440p so i dont really understand why people say that its not good on this card. i cant turn ray tracing all the way up but i can turn it on and it looks amazing. i will say that when metro first came out the ray tracing was broken as all hell but after they updated the game it works pretty good for me. im talking about my personal system btw not the one for the kid. i havent bought anything for him yet
  13. hardware junky
    i edited one of the last posts to clear that up
  14. hardware junky
    no i havent bought it for him. i have one in my own system. sorry for the confusion
  15. hardware junky
    that looks cool but like i stated in the original post those are just there for prices. i really wanted him to pick out his own mouse and keyboard
