New build for family friends son

[Gottboost]

Hey all, looking at recommendations and thoughts on this system i'm going to build for a family friends son. They already have a monitor (assuming just 1080p) keyboard mouse. Was considering a intel 9400f to be a bit cheaper but can't beat the ryzen 5 3600.

you might be able to save a few more dollars if you lower the gpu to something like a 1060. and also getting a smaller m.2 drive for windows and a few select programs and then a HDD for the games. also you could lower the PSU but that wont save that much (at least where i live)

do you know what sort of games that he will be playing

@Herman Mcpootis reason for the itx board is for wifi, should of clarified that in original post. Also just using pcpartpicker for a general run down of parts, will depend on stores in my local area

just get a pci-e wifi card.

[Gottboost]

@WickedStarfish selected 1 drive just to keep it simple for them. As for getting a gtx 1060, not many places stock them here and since the budget is decent will stick with a rtx 2060 or amd 5700 (hopefully aftermarket ones with better coolers come soon). PSU wise pcpartpicker didnt have the one from the store i will buy from, but its a Silverstone 650watt 80+ gold full modular for $110.

 

@Herman Mcpootis was trying to keep the foot print of the system small. As for a pci-e wifi card plus motherboard is a little bit more than just getting the itx board unless i get a cheap tp-link wifi card (not a big fan of)

@Herman Mcpootis That is what is available at my local store. Price wise its $1598. They didn't have the wifi card you suggested else would of went a MSI matx board and it.

that makes sense

just a thought, have you had a look at what the difference in price would be between an i5 and the ryzen?, i dont know if it is still the case, but back when i used an amd computer the optimization was not as good as it was with the intel counterpart

[Gottboost]

@WickedStarfish From what i found with a i5 9400f, decent mb plus wifi card, its only $120 difference to the ryzen 3600. Also at least with AMD he could upgrade later on, not like the dead socket of the intel
