Parental triumph! Might have another PC gamer in the house soon. Especially sweet because we also have a couple of XBoxes. :-)
SO--now the hard part--what to get. I've built a couple of PCs (last back in 2014 so has been awhile and I'm not really up on all the latest hardware), this is his first, so will be a fun project for both of us.
His 13th bday is in a week, so timing is a little bad, as we seem to be between the next CPU/GPU generations. That said, he'll be gaming on a 24" monitor at 1080p, so he won't need a monster rig or GPU, just something that will play newest titles at med/high settings and last a few years. If he needs to upgrade the GPU down the road, that would be a nice option to have.
I'd like to keep the budget under 1k, but not sure that's possible with recent component cost increases.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions.
