September 8, 20205 yr My 12 year old son wants to build his first PC soon. He's saving the money and is almost there. I know nothing about it. He has been looking at this one on PCpartpicker. (1st pic) https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/2cLrxr/modest-amd-gaming-build He plays Rainbow Six Siege, COD, etc... He wants was to stream some of his stuff and earn a billion dollars on Twitch too. Would that PC be a decent place for him to start? If he had more money to spent how would is best be spent? The other option he's been looking at is NZXT (second pic, $899 version). Any opinions?

September 8, 20205 yr Shocked that the Ryzen CPUs are becoming scarce. One I want is out of stock until 10/16. Guns and CPUs, new economics course.
