My buddy was in a car accident a few years ago. He got a bad knock on the head and wasn't able to properly recover.
Last year his pride and joy - His PS4 - was unfortunately zapped with lightning. And, despite my best efforts, I've been unable to repair it...
His birthday is in a few months and I wanna build him a beginner gaming PC.

I have a 9th gen motherboard and a nice cooler. Got an old redragon keyboard I keep as a spare that I can give him.
Can get an old PSU from work, or give him my old 550W when I upgrade (Which I been meaning to do..)

I need a crappy old case,
Some 9th gen i3(?)
and a GPU (Like a 760 or better? Could wait a bit and game off integrated at first)

What would you guys recomend?


#Wanted Template

Item Wanted:
- Case
- 9th Gen CPU
- Playable GPU

Packaging Essential: Nope
Desired Age: Old
Location: Pretoria or Gauteng
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yeah
Ballpark/Budget Amount: No more than 1.5K a piece


FYI
--------
 
An i3 9th gen + something like a gtx 1050 would be fine for most games at 60fps.

Wouldn't recommend it for AAA titles tho.
 
I have a 2.4ghz mouse I can send you.
