New Build for Niece

[Scott Macbeth]

Hey all,

 

Basically making a new pc for my niece, she's very young only 7 but she's very big into making YouTube and editing YouTube videos. I build my own pc quite often and I do have some spares already which may be overkill I think? but it saves money on this build. Would you guys be able to finish my list below with what you guys think would be best for her? As below I don't really have any budget constraints but its hardly going to be over powered. Just stuff that works with the components I have already and compliment them. I'll be monitoring here to answer any questions you guys have but appreciate the help as always. 

 

Budget (including currency): No real budget concerns in GBP

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Youtube/light editing/streaming and Roblox of course.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I've included below my part list of spares that I currently have to put in the new pc. If at all possible try keep this somewhat smaller in size but not mini itx preferably as it will be pushed into a corner somewhere I imagine.

P.S. I don't really care for any AMD vs intel stuff so whichever you guys think is best I'm good with.

You don't need gtx1080 to edit videos, any 4-6 cores cpu will be good enough for youtube editing.

Are you buying the GPU new? Then it's a bad idea.

Original Microsoft windows keys is only $15 on the black market (legit).

Hi, thanks for the response, the parts I have in my part picker are parts I already own. I've recently upgraded to a 3080 with a newer psu so these are left over parts I'm throwing into a new pc for my Niece. Apologies if I didn't make it more apparent.

I like this list, I will most likely pick a 3600 as it would most likely be enough. and might change the ram to corsair vengeance LPX ram as i just prefer that. other than that thank you very much for the list. The case was where i was stuck most on.

there's really no difference besides looks, so just get whichever's cheaper.
