What I'm quite happy to spend a bit more now and upgrade bits and get some more use, and those parts can then be used for a future build maybe... As long as he can play the games he wants to, and doubt he will need above 1080p or 60fps then it will be fine with me. Then actually when he...

although I suppose if doing gpu and ram then makes sense to get new board

So next question is... What can I do to it now to keep it going for a little bit. I dont think he will want ray tracing and if he does then when he gets his full inheritance in 3 years when hes 21 he can buy a top of the range pc. Will the Mobo be ok for that long. Im happy to get new mobo...

So the lad turned 18 a few weeks ago and inherited some money and wanted to buy a new gaming pc, was looking at the R12 alienware as 'it looks cool' and another that I had pointed out. then we realised a relative had left his pc for the boy to have and tinker with...We dug it out and wondering...
