It truly is. My only form of PC gaming before this was an iMac from 2013, I never really got to experience anything above 60fps while at 1080p. Now I can set every game (that i play) to ultra without any worries.

Im double your age and know sht on how to do this w a budget. Trying to figure out how to get my son someting to game with on the cheap but not shitty side of thngs. I was born before computers and cell phones and shit and never got up to speed. Been paying for that mistake for decades now. Good job young one!
Yeah, budgeting for a PC can be a real pain, especially for the graphics card, that one was a killer.
If you're looking to build a certain type of computer but dont know where to start, i'd recommend checking out r/buildmeapc . Those guys helped me a ton when it came to building mine.
Very cool. Thank you. Any suggestions on where to start? He’s 9 and getting more into games.
First, decide how much you're going to be spending on the computer. Then you can decide on the parts you want.
I'd recommend starting at the CPU. Starting there will dictate some of the other parts you'll be getting (Motherboard). I personally went with the "Ryzen 5 3600" from AMD as it is one of the best choices for a value processor in my opinion.
Use www.pcpartpicker.com and go top to bottom with the parts that you pick. That website helped me choose the parts I wanted and gave me the lowest prices for them. It also eliminates any incompatibilities that you might face otherwise.
If you have any questions about certain parts, go to the subreddit I mentioned earlier and just ask, they'll be happy to help.
Good luck.
Awesome. Thank you. One last question if time permits, what would a reasonable cost be? I know the range is probably 500-5000+ but I see some decent ones i think can be bought for around 1500. Any ideas? Thank you again and good work!
