Greetings community:)

I have found four suitable PCs for the son of a friend of mine and need some help in choosing between them. Which one would you guys say gives you the most bang for the buck?
Some info about what they are looking for:

  • Prebuilt (no building experience)
  • Can play Fortnite with 144fps
  • Max 1000 USD
  • Be able to upgrade the PC in the future
  • A computer screen is a +, but not a priority. Most important that PC is good.
The two first PC's are the only one that lets you change different components to it. The two other PC's are outlet/demo PC's and are sold with what they have in them. All with warranty.

PC nr 1:

  • Svive Halo S650 Midi-Tower

  • WD Blue SN550 250GB NVMe M.2 SSD
  • MSI MAG A520M VECTOR WIFI
  • Corsair CX450M, 450W PSU Bronze
  • Windows 10

I would go for 1660 super / 3600 pc.
The worst thing it has is the psu,but if its under waranty,its their responsibility,not yours.
a 3600 and 1660 super are the most expensive components in the system,everything else that i would change is below 100$ and considering the GPU market right now,a 1660 super would set you back 600$,which is 60% of the budget.A nice thing to have is that 3200mhz,which makes me think its not some crappy ddr4 ram,yet a popular ram which can be bought to make 16gb.
The things i would change are the motherboard which is unknown,the ram,psu and the case.
But you dont need that now.
