Budget: €1200 (+/- €50)
Uses: Gaming

This is for a kid who's currently playing Delta Force on an older laptop. He needs wifi and wanted ARGB. I'm thinking a 750W psu allows for a future gpu upgrade.

i don't know how good Adata XPG PSU are. Tom's mentions it gets noisy under load but that's unlikely in current build.
Mine doesn't even use 586 so plenty of room to move unless he wins lotto and buys a 5090

This review is similar to Tom's in regards to noise. It was one of the cheaper psu's I could find that has a 7 year warranty. If the kid cranks up his headset he's probably not going to notice the fan ... lol.

I was curious and checked prices for a bunch of the GPUs listed as faster, and it's amazing how well those things hold their ridiculous pricing. Why in the world, for instance, are used 4070s selling for $700? A new 4070 Super for $850? What a joke.

Anyway, the GPU you picked looks like the best value GPU out there, and this looks like a great build for the money.

The kid who this build is intended for is like 12 years old but he's a pretty cool cat. He asked for a build with a €1000 budget so I threw together a 12400F + B760 + DDR4-3200 build and he ask how much more for a DDR5 build and I told him probably €100 more will do the trick. He comes back on Discord the next day and says I have a €1200 budget and one of the guys on there ask him how he managed that and he replies: "I asked my parents how much did they pay for my sisters Iphone and trip to Barcelona."
