no i'm saying it because it's true. if the parents don't want the kid to be gaming all day then a Mac is a good choice. unless you install Windows you won't be gaming on it.

but the thing is im not going to do that I said if i play to much return it. I dont want that so ill make sure to not play on the weekdays and an 1hr on Friday Saturday and Sunday

[progamer21]

the only game u can kinda play on a mac is mc and io games

I have 1k bc of birthday parties I got like 150$ in amzn money every year I won a zucchini car race for 300$ (dont ask lol) and i have earned a lot from chores over the years I invite like 15 of my friends btw and I combine my bday with my best friend so theres even more presents

 

[progamer21]

Even with 7 years of bday parties alone I get 1050 with that alone+300$+chores(100$)+Allowance(200$) = grand total of 1650$ so ya thats how

Ok I'll tell you one more time (I have a feeling you're going to ignore my advice anyway)

 

Don't spend all of those seven birthdays worth of money on some gaming rig. You'll regret it.

But that prebuilt and monitor are way above your budget. You're not going to convince your parents if it costs that much.

If your budget is actually that high, you can also build a PC that is cheaper and performs the same/better.

 

(also don't get that chair, it will break in a year, trust me the same thing happened to my cheap amazon gaming chair)

for $1650, you could get a way better pc than the one you added. The reviews may be good, but that doesn't mean you cannot do better

The chair is pure trash. I bought one that had good reviews too, and one year later it broke after being extremely flimsy. Youre better off getting a good office chair

 

Also, why don't you use this logic to convince your parents then?

Chairs are based heavily on personal preference. It might work for you, but be warned that those chairs are made heavily out of cheap plastic and metal and generally lack good build quality and tend to degrade over time, at least in my case.

eight years is a long time in computer terms. (granted I have a computer that is older and still going.) I got my first computer when I was around your age, and by the time I was 15 I wanted a newer/better one, then again when I was 18, then again when I was 20, and again at 24, it was not until I got married and started a family that my priorities changed. I rocked the computer I built at 24 until I was 35. I am now rocking, an older used (newer than my old one) that I got cheap from my current job because we replaced a few hundred of them with new stuff) I'm 37 now. Your parents and most of us here, have something you don't. wisdom and experience. You are not comprehending the value of building it your self, the pre-built has at best a 30 day return period, and 1 year of warranty. building your self each part can have a warranty (generally 2-5 years) and will be cheaper to get the same or better power/performance. You don't need 200fps on Fortnite, you would need a 240Hz monitor to even utilize that fps (the Hz rating is how many times the screen redraws a frame every second, which fps is frames per second.)

 

You should listen to your parents, and the advice you have been given here. You will come out ahead in the long run.

Are you talking about those gaming chairs? Yea most are absolute garbage. They're not designed to provide comfort long for sessions and improve posture, they're just designed to "look cool".

I found a cheap 300 $ 240 hz monitor that will work fine and trust me I am not going to want a better computer in the long run i will be grateful for the I might get bc I could never get a pc at all I am on a 2012 mac so u have no idea wat it would feel like to play 200fps. I played fortnite on mobile but it was just really unenjoyable so i quit I want to play fortnite on pc.
