So my nephew is looking to getting into PC gaming. Yes 11 year-old that thinks RGB increases performance. However I am confused as whether to take a Ryzen 5 2600 or i5-9400f. I think I will pair it with a 1660 super and I expect him to mostly use it for Fortnite and esport titles and watch YouTube and streams. The thing is, is it better going for the single thread performance of the Intel or is the Ryzen 5 2600 as good as people keep saying - or is it more a price to performance?

But to my knowledge the Ryzen 5 2600 doesn't support RAM above 2933?

Wow - thanks! Didn't know you could do that through PCPartPicker and didn't even know that seller. I can't seem to decide between AMD RX 580 and GTX 1650S - they are similar in price. And even though the 1650s is newer, a lot of the benchmarks I can find seem to favor the RX 580.

Thank you all for your valued and experienced advice. Sadly PC-part prices are totally different in Denmark and my budget is limited for an eleven year old entry-level pc gaming fortnite RGB experience. But I'm taking all your advice going for the 2600, upgrading space at the cost of it being SATA SSD in stead. Dual memory 2x4 or 2x8. In my nephews eyes RGB = better than the actual FPS or snappiness. Sadly. I'll update the full build, and hope that you'll bear with me and aid me once again

Hi, My nephew is looking into getting his first gaming pc. For that his mom has asked me (and my limited knowledge) for guidance. He has played Fortnite on PS4 and Roblox on a school laptop and are looking for similar but upgraded gaming experience. So far I have been constructing the below specs. - How do you think it would perform in 1080p high setting Fortnite? - Is it worth spending another USD 43 upgrading the CPU to Ryzen 5 2600?
