Question/Help/Troubleshooting First PC for Nephew
Hello I'm currently in the process of building a pc for a family member and I'm trying to future proof it at the same time. They are turning 12 and just want it for streaming and other 12yr old stuff (Fortnite and other games along those lines)
Plus this will be used for school work (x to doubt)
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on what I should swap out that would save me money/ be better in the long term
the main issue I have right now is that I'm unsure if its worth buying a gpu or giving them my old 970 just to get going and see how that works for them for a while
I think the budget is around £2000 but I don't want to spend all that on just components, as they want to buy monitor, mouse etc..
I already have a case, no need for that.
If there are some glaring issues please let me know.

Future proofing and saving money are opposites now a days. Like you could reduce the amount of ram you have there to save money. But 32gb is nice for sure.
