Looking to purchase my son a PC. Can’t really afford anything more than $550. I saw this one online. He plays Fortnite mainly.
Thoughts? Is there a better one in my price range? Help please 🙂

Hello klynn35, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

I would recommend not getting one from amazon as they usually have their prices way up, a microcenter or possibly best buy would be a good option, but you would need a monitor(unless you have one) mouse keyboard etc.
Edit: I would also take the advice of others because I am not as smart as some of these guys lol
No that’s worth $150 max, very old GPU and most likely very old CPU as well
I’ll suggest build one yourself, if you have played with Legos you know 95% of the process already, the last 5% you can learn it by watching videos in you tube
