Building a new PC for my fiancee's little brother.
Budget 500$
He plays Cod/Fortnight
Will purchase sooner than later.
Don't need a monitor/mouse/keyboard
He's a 13 year old boy as long as the CPU runs those games smoothly I think he'll be happy.
Doesn't need to be top of the line. His parents do want him to get a job and upgrade his computer himself. But they have no issues with getting him a starter.
Ideally he could run those games on normal settings.

Something like this would do the trick...

Holy shit that's a crazy good price for that hardware lol. the cpu + gpu alone is worth almost that much. Honestly buy that if you can shell out the extra little cash. Way worth it.

It appears to be sold out. I guess I should have expected that.
Found another similar build at Best Buy as well... sold out.
