Hi guys. I am 13 and is planing to build a $3500 (AUD) Gaming PC for a friend whose isn't in the perfect financial situation to buy non essential things. Don't worry about the OS as I got one for free from my dad. Monitor I will give him one and I gave him a razer mouse and keyboard for his last birthday but he said he didn't have a computer. But I'm still not sure which parts to choose from even though it's nearly like I don't have to worry about money. I have a list that's a bit over the budget but can still afford it. Please tell me if there is room for improvements.

 

Thanks :)

Ok I made changes to my pc part picker list. Sort of rushed it tho.

 

 

 

The one of the purposes of this PC is to be able to game at 1440p at a pretty good frame rate on heavily demanding games, to be able to handle heavy multitasking as my friend will use this computer at home for school and the teachers gave him about a years worth of homework to finish in 1 week. He does love Minecraft so I will let him play Minecraft RTX to let him experience modern day graphics instead of his GTX 480. Main purpose is for this PC to still be considered decent in minimum 4 years so I won't have to spend this much again for a while. Also this will power 6 monitors that I gave him. I also realised my friend is the type that is "full storage phobic" and will delete anything that goes through the half way mark of either the SSD or the HDD so I had to cut that off a bit. And sorry if there are major errors. I can't focus without sleeping before 11 pm (I live in West Aus). Will consider Lurick's Ryzen 7 3700x build.And yeah maybe the price could be cut down a bit. Feel free to add on any suggestions. 

 

Thanks again and have a nice day :)
