that would be suitable as an upgrade, but its not within budget unless you sacrifice performance

I know it only has a 1050 ti, but he is only 10 so it should be enough for him

thats a severe downgrade, to 1050 ti, 2 less cores and no smt, plus, what did I say about buying a windows license, for this, you want single channel ram for 8gb, for future upgradeability, and thats not a good ssd, plus the terrible price/gb ratio, for only 20$ more get twice the capacity

Wow, everyone here is just awesome!  Thank you so much for all the recommendations.  I told my son after school today that we had the basic system configuration and we are about to start ordering parts (probably still going to make that trip to Virginia just for fun).  It would be an understatement to say he is excited.  I have bumped up the budget a bit to make RGB a little easier.  I will definitely be taking pictures as he builds and post the finished product giving credit where credit is due, you all! 

 

Thank you again, I appreciate it and hope over time I can return the favor to others.

the masterbox lite 5 RGB has 3 RGB fans for $50 after a rebate form, you can get that for RGB or spend $15-20 for a deepcool kit.
