Hi everyone! My nephew (11yo) and I are embarking on our first gaming build. He usually plays Overwatch, Fallout, and Minecraft on his Xbox. We went off of the $500 build from The Dark Lord of Tech and would appreciate any advice on our build list. We changed the case, CPU to i5 9th Gen, added another stick of SDRAM, motherboard to H310MA 2.0, PSU from 450W --> 650W, and upped the storage from 480GB to 1TB. We have zero experience and are going off of forum advice & video tutorials.
Any and all help/advice is really, truly appreciated! Thank you!!!
