First gaming computer for son

Hello all! My son and I have been talking about getting him a gaming computer. I have a mid-2000 PC that we don't use, so he took it apart, put it back together, and such. He also took apart one of our TVs and found the burned out capacitor and I am getting a new one to get that TV back up and running. So, he is more tech savvy than I. He just turned 13.

He plays on his Xbox know and has his favorites-Fortnite, Rocket League soccer and the Forza racing games.

Here is what I ordered him. It's still in stage 1 so if I jacked it up please tell me so I can get it fixed ASAP! I figured anything is better than nothing at this point and it's our first go around.

Not much to go on re: budget and monitor resolution, but a couple of observations:

We always like to recommend the Corsair 850W power supply at +$70, both for better options for upgrades later, but mostly for the 5 year warranty from Corsair. All DS branded parts are covered only by the DS blanket warranty you order, typically 1 year.

The GTX 1650 is the entry level Nvidia graphics processor. At 1080p monitor resolution, it will perform okay at medium to high settings. Nothing to write home about, but fine to start out. Much stronger choice at a reasonable bump (+$94) would be the GTX 1660.

The upgrade my friend suggests to the Samsung 512GB 970 PRO is highly recommended. If you can't do anything else, squeeze that in there somehow. Not only do you switch to a 5 year Samsung warranty on your primary drive, but it's easily 5X as fast as the one selected. It accesses a different chipset for processing faster. The PRO is Samsung's best, and it's on sale here.

Welcome, you are going to appreciate the choice you've made in Digital Storm. Most of us have been around for years, and we've had multiple systems. Please come back with any more questions.

Sorry, the Samsung upgrade is $123. It's a big number, but it's an amazing bargain when you consider just how much performance is increased. If one or the other, not both, get the Samsung!

Agree with my friend Cretae.... The bit of that advice your sharp gamer son will consider most crucial would be the need for a dedicated video card.

Agreed! GTX 1660 is the perfect option

Please let us know how he likes it!
