Sorry! i was playing fortnite, yes im getting the anne pro 2 keyboard and the model o mouse can you maybe walk me through on my birthday how to set it up?

Lol np. I probably can, but like peeps said on the other thread, you can just find really good guides on YouTube. If you watch those and take your time it'll all turn out fine. PCs are like Legos but they only fit in one way, if you don't hurry and miss something (I've forgotten to plug the CPU power in so many times), and don't force a connector where it doesn't belong, you'll be fine. If your parents are down you can get one of them to watch along and help you put it together if you're worried.

Hey! is there any other RTX 2060s that are cheaper? or is that the cheapest one?

That was the cheapest one on PCPartPicker currently, they'll go on sale sometimes though.

Doesn't look like a bad rig, but you're only getting 8GB RAM instead of a proper 16. You can just add more later though. The main issue is they only used one stick, Ryzen performs much, much better with dual channel RAM (2 sticks in staggered slots, either slots 1/3 or 2/4). But again you can just grab a 2x8GB kit (you always want matching DIMMs) later on. It does have a 2600X too which is nice, IIRC that has PBO and can boost itself, meaning you don't need to bother with overclocking it yourself (my 2700X, the bigger version of that, boosted cores in use higher than I could overclock them anyways). 

The only other issues with prebuilts is they usually cheap out on the PSU (an important part of the PC, if those blow they can take the whole rig with them), mobo, and sometimes the RAM. That case may not be the best for airflow either, but for that hardware it's probably fine.

I’m just gonna get the rig you showed me! That’s probably the best for my money

Right now it's pretty much the best bang for the buck. If you don't want RTX ray-tracing or the better NVENC encoder on the 2060 though, you can get a 5700 for $30 more: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NLPgXL/powercolor-radeon-rx-5700-8-gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-5700-8gbd6-3dhroc It's a bit faster and has 2GB more VRAM. Though you do seem to mostly play Fortnite and that runs better on Nvidia GPUs, so the 2060 is probably the best value for your use case.
