Hey Guys,
My neighbor has asked me to come up with a PC he can get for his son. Will be used to play games such as Fortnite and Warzone. His son and my son get along very well and they either playing games here by me or they running wild somewhere in the complex.
Gave me a budget of R10k, and asked that I keep some headroom in the build for upgrades in future. Told him it can be done but might need to stretch just a little more, especially since they have nothing. No monitor. No peripherals.
This is what I have come up with. Looking at z490 with i5 10500. Can be upgraded to 10700 or 10900 if ever needed. Another option, which makes more sense for future upgrades, is 13400F but cant see this and motherboard around for budget of R3k.
The power supply doesnt have to be 1000W. Can also be 850 but gonna cost around same.
GPU - Cant picture a better value for card in this price range than a 2060 super.
Monitor, etc can use generic from closest PC store for now. Seen a 1080P monitor in PE for R600.
Thoughts?
