"Yes, but can’t look at bright screen for very long ,
can’t be the monitor that gets screwed up with polarized glasses,
she uses apps for extra dimming,
Zoomtext is free trial,
the windows magnifier sucks,
needs something that enlarges the whole screen,
voice to text that doesn’t suck but isn’t too expensive.
need headset"

This is what I built with my nephew back in November. Just wondering if there are any updates I should make?

Well why do you need updates? That's a pretty good system unless you're going to be trying 1440p or 4k gaming? You could do with more storage space and the GPU is probably the weakest part, but still plenty good enough for high settings gaming at 1080p.
