pc for my brother

[David_ballard]

hello all,

My brother has a Laptop my parents bought me 4 years ago and when they bought me it it was really bad like £250. It has a Risen 3 2200U 4 gb of ddr4 1666 and 128gb m2 Sata it also runs hot and loud. I my self have many computers and servers so my brother who is now in 1st year of secondary school or 6th grade US needs something better he plays lots of games on an xbox one s that is always crashing and wiping its self so I am going to build him a good pc he will also stream and use for school so I have some parts on hand and I am not getting him to pay I am going to surprise him but I have a pc part picker list some bought already but help with the others thanks

(only need CPU, RAM, Storage and GPU rip so expensive)

idk why it's still broken for me, but I can highlight and paste it and it works then

looking at the list, I'd say wait for the 3050 ti to come out, if you're really lucky, for a bit more you'll get a lot more GPU

Looks balanced and a great value. I don't want to comment on a 3600 for 250, but I can't comment on prices outside of the USA, but still seems pricey.

Just so you know, the b450 motherboard is going to need a bios update to work with the 3600, won't turn on without it, and you'll need a ryzen 1000 or 2000 cpu to upgrade it. there may be a pc shop near you that can do it, but usually they charge a small fee which would bump the price up to the range of the new b550 motherboards.
