Hi all,
My 2nd son (1st got a used PC for bday/Christmas) is wanting to save up for a PC. All he plays on is Fortnite, on PS4 at the moment, not interested in other games. We wants to see some decent FPS and storage to record and edit videos.
I also would like to build it with him as it could be a fun project and get him into some practical side of things (not just the fun of being on the screen!).
In an ideal world, he would be in the £300-£350 range leveraging used and potentially new parts. Obviously we can have a discussion around GPU's being what will drive how much he would need to save...!
Whilst this wouldn't be "budget", I can't help but feel this CPU (I know very little about all of these things!) is an absolute steal, so would be willing to chip in a small amount myself to make it a robust CPU. Sub-£100 for the AMD 5600X must be a good deal??

What Mobo would be good to pair this with? I'm thinking DDR4 is fine (?) and I'm not sure if I want microATX as my assumption is that would make the build more challenging for wiring. I completed my first build over Christmas break using full ATX and a big case, and found that pretty good but I'd say my cable management isn't the best (fat hands).
Any other thoughts on used parts and good options for a best low budget is appreciated! My son wants to make a list and see what he has to save for.
Thanks!
