help! basic gaming desktop for 10 year old boy under $500

DivineMNM · Dec 3, 2014

I can not build one. I know that's what everyone is going to say-but I really don't know how and I'm an old lady who isn't up to the challenge ;-)
I have looked at the Alienware Alpha, the SBX, Ibuypower and Cyberpower. Digital Storm is too expensive for me. I would like to stay under $500. This little boy likes to play basic STEAM games. Nothing too crazy. Just has graduated from the MINECRAFT obsession. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Many places that sell pc parts would build the pc for you for like 20$ .

this should play anything he wants - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WDHQBm

I would not recommend that build ^^. Plus it has a cheap low quality PSU.

Here would be a way better build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C2CKGX

This will run circles around an APU build.

This is not about the awesomeness/performance its about low cost and just good enough performance tho i do agree the build could be better

And the build I posted will game 5x better than the one you did but only cost $30 more which is still within OPs budget.

There is absolutely no reason to not buy the build I posted. It is about as good as you will do on this budget.

In my country my build is almost 100 dollars cheaper than yours. You should consider the price in different countries.

OP never specified so he is more than likely in America. In this case, my build is the one to get for sure.

In that case i support your build

Can you build a pc? Keep in mind this is all assuming you can...
