My Girlfriends First PC

[Sammy3D]

I wanna build my girlfriend a gaming PC with her for her B-Day. She plays Xbox but she wants to build a PC and get into PC gaming. I need help with the parts list. with Ryzen out things have kinda changed for entry level stuff and idk if i should stay with Intel or go to AMD. I think i will have around $500 to work with so if any one can help me with a build it would be much appreciated.

So why are you begging for cash with that GoFundMe link? That's not how things work.

i think with that kind of budget you will get the best performance on the used market. and it will be more satisfying

Besides the fact that such things are banned on the forum, there really is no excuse to beg for money from strangers for something like a PC... which isn't a necessity judging from your post (it's only going to be used for gaming).

 

My advice? Get a job and buy the PC with your own money.

The GoFundMe link gives off the impression that you're begging for money on this forum. Hate to backseat moderate but can you please remove it?
