Thanks for any help!

how many frames does he expect? since 1080p 144hz i good, but does that asus monitor have decent color because it seems that its so cheap to have decent color, i respect psu but maybe theres a full mod bronze one?, 100 bucks on a psu is little much, also for gpu i stronly recomend he gets some ebay radeon rx580 or 570, just suggesting, good case reset is great, but you can get a deal on 1700 or 1700x,

Why no 5000 series CPU? why don't you choose a better GPU like a 3060ti and Ryzen 5 3600?

All you you asked the same question 🤣

 

PC is for his birthday, and he wants it by then, which is in ~a week. No 5000/3000/6000 because good luck finding them, I had to F5 for 2 weeks to get my 3060 Ti. The monitor is absolutely AMAZING. I have the same exact panel and it is flawless. Also nothing used is just a preference.

Your right, around 60 is fine, he is coming from a Xbox series S so he wont know anything above that 🤣 He will be playing mostly Fortnight and a bit of Minecraft.

if your saying, JUST 60fps, then he could get any 4gb gpu, but maybe the 6gb would hold out, even thought its overpriced garbage
