Budget build

Budget (including currency): 300 USD

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: School work, watching youtube, playing roblox and maybe a couple steam games.

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): This would be for my 6 year old son. Not sure if this build would work ok or if we'd be better off just buying him a chromebook. Would still need to get a cheap monitor and keyboard. 

 

Edit: already have a 650w power supply, forgot to put that in the other details.

Seems good but I would recommend a few things - 

-cheap Rosewill case like the SRM-01B

-A power supply if you want it to turn on, EVGA has some good cheap 250w range ones 

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

Maybe look into bigger storage(?). 240gb is not a lot of room these days with games getting bigger and bigger. I know that your son probably isn't into bigger titles at the moment but this could mitigate potential space problems if he installs too many of the smaller games. I would recommend between 500gb and 1T, specially if you plan on using it as the boot drive.

Me gaming: "I am the absolute best at this game!!!!"
Also me gaming: "How the hell did I just die?!"

I would recommend buying him a laptop instead of a pc because as he gets older it will be a lot more useful to have a laptop then a desktop for school and many other reasons.
As a example i am still doing school i have 2 separate computers my desktop and my laptop (for school)
