My son (12) has been saving and saving and with some additional funds chopped in from me and his Mum he's planning on buying (very soon) a gaming PC for £950ish - I said a grand as I don't mind topping up a bit more if need be.
He has (for reasons I can't extract) a slight preference for AMD
He's been researching himself as is leaning toward a machine based around:
- Motherboard: Asus prime a320m-k
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
- RAM: 8gb
- Graphics: 6gb gtx1060
- Drive: 1tb sata
I think it'd be sensible to add a small SSD for the OS ?
Any brands/offers/deals/suggestions ? I know next to nothing about PC tech these days (filthy Apple whore who plays on PS4
;-) )
Thank you!
Red ones are better.

1060 will be great for graphics, although prices are high at the moment (no sign of coming down).
Of course, an xbox is much cheaper
Not long after the PC he'll want a better screen, mouse, keyboard etc

And definitely add a 120 or 250gb SSD for the OS. I run one alongside a 2tb HDD for storage, and my boot time is 21 seconds.
