Hello good morning/afternoon, I've been trying to find a PC for my cousin as he's really interested in gaming, my budget is 1,000 he plays, Minecraft, Roblox, rainbow six siege, and he said I he gets a better computer he might play cod and he said he wants to get good frames in all those games. These are the things I've gone with and I want you to give me comments on what I should do:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 3600

Motherboard: Gigabyte - B450M DS3H

RAM: 2 x 8GB

Case: MSI - MAG Forge 100R Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - Black

Power Supply: Evga 550

Video Card: Gtx 770 windforce

SSD: Crucial - MX500 500GB SSD 3D TLC NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

Preferables: (Not sure which keyboard, but he said he likes black switches), Glorious Model O, and ASUS 24" 1080PASUS 24" 1080P x1

Please give me advice, because I want to give this to him at Christmas! Thanks

Ian

Greetings. Do you already have these parts by chance?

The reason I ask is because the GTX 770's have been discontinued production-wise for quite some time (at least 5 or so years) and NVIDIA is no longer making driver updates for them as of this month, so I would not recommend that card. More here: https://www.pcgamer.com/its-official-nvidia-will-end-geforce-gtx-600700-series-support-in-october/

Some games will require you to be on the latest version of drivers to launch their games, so that isn't a good idea and I would suggest looking for a new model of card.
