My son and I built a very budget gaming computer this year. It was a lot of fun to design a build with him around such a limited budget (under $300). He was sick of waiting in the queue for GeForce Now to play Fortnite and Payday with his friends. He also wanted to get into Red Dead Redemption 2. We put together a pretty decent 1080p gaming rig for him with a 6 core/12 thread Xeon Lenovo p520 workstation with 32 GB Ram, a 1 TB m.2 NVMe, a GTX 1080, and windows 11 pro for $293 and change after taxes and shipping.
I’d love to run some benchmarks, but he’s having too much fun paying games right now. I’ll get on it after school starts up again.
