haya,
Looking at buying the parts and building a pc for my son whos 10, have a 2nd baby due next month, so thought it'd be a nice surprise for him, he mainly plays fortnite, also plays destiny 2 and Minecraft some times, only kinda looking at 1080p 60-100fps

don't mind buying new parts or buying 2nd hand, obviously id like to go cheaper but don't mind spending a bit more if its worth it

was thinking of maybe going for a 2nd hand ryzen 3600? or could go down the patch of getting a new CPU/mobo/ram for my pc and giving him the 8700k? if i did i was looking at the 7600 (429nzd ) or the 7600x (448nzd ) i have a 12g evga 3080 FTW3 ultra
