Hello guys, I decided to get a gaming PC for my son (current 7yo so most likely less demanding games) I was planning on doing more research but someone told me to go check out the MicroCenter (ST.David’s PA)

I asked someone in the build section what a roughy $1k PC could be like and how doable that was, he made up a list of parts on the computer I I just decided to go for so here’s what I bought

just put it together last night, just wondering if you guys think this was a good buy for the money? Especiallysince I think I’m guna build a second one for me for around the same cost

so anything you guys would have done differently?

thanks for your time

Don't settle for the old school 11 gen 11700K. It runs hot and is beaten by the less expensive i5 12400 / 12400F.

Ahh Okay I appreciate the reply, so everything else looks pretty good for the $ more or less if I were to buy the stuff again?

I think the main reason the guy picked that one is that it came as a bundle that’s why the motherboard right under it in the list was free

Just picked up the stuff for the second PC this time i got the package with an i7-12700k and Z690-plus Wi-Fi d4 motherboard for $350, and got an RX 6650 XT graphics card

Thanks again for the tip on the first intel I am hoping that the PC with the 11700k doesn’t give my son any issues I’m guna see how that goes
