The posts below, copied from another thread, are relevant to my situation (see more below):
My older son (16) is in the process of selling his PS4 to fund the purchase of a gaming PC. He wants to live-stream. If things go to plan, he will have a budget of R6000. This is to be used for a case, power supply, mother board, RAM and GPU. He knows that with such a small budget, he has to make compromises. I am concerned of him taking a wrong trajectory with this purchase, and would like some guidance so that he does not waste money based on poor decision in the initial purchase. I want him to buy components that would allow him to upgrade easily over time.
He has already lined up some items. I don't know the specifics, but for now I understand that he is targeting a MB that supports the latest Intel generation CPU, an i3 processor and 2 x 4GB RAM. He has also spoken of the GTX1050 or 1060, but I don't know what his current choice is for GPU (I can get proper info from him tonight).
Help!
