Hi all
I’ve not posted in AVF for years now but find myself back here seeking advice from you lovely lot
My son (age 11) is desperate for his own desktop PC for gaming performance, Fortnite etc. I went through a period in 20’s building pcs but have not built one now for 10+ years
Generally I’m wondering if the effort is worth it for a self build these days? It used to be a cost effective way to spec a good pc but is that still true today? I see a lot more pre-built offerings on the market now
Of course it would be a good learning exercise for us both and certainly my son is interested but I’m wondering now having been out of the fold for many years if this would be so straight forward starting essentially from scratch again all these years on
fianlly, if self build does not stack up, can you recommend a good desktop pc supplier to look at that would run Fortnite at fast FPS etc.
Thanks
