2 sticks of ram > 1 stick of ram

that ssd doesn't exactly inspire trust but that's just me

don't ever cheap out on PSUs

75hz is a massive difference from 60 and it's usually not much more expensive

don't buy a mouse, pretty sure someone he knows must have an old one they don't use they'll be willing to give him or sell for a very low price, save a few weeks and buy a 30 bucks decent one

idk how much that case is but maybe buy something with cable management and fans, used stuff is cheap and you don't have to be concerned cuz it's just a case

I'll quote myself: "pretty sure someone he knows must have an old one they don't use they'll be willing to give him or sell for a very low price, save a few weeks and buy a 30 bucks decent one". Or tell him to save a few weeks and buy a 30 bucks decent one.

Cheap mice that good look or have LEDs are not worth it at all.

There are some with pretty decent sensors at around that price point.

- SteelSeries Rival 100

- Something around Logitech g300s

Doesn't need to be pretty, needs to track nicely, if hes looking for pretty hes off to a bad start.
