I’ve been planning this for a while. And I was finally able to give it to hims this weekend. My sister (his mom) put up for some of the parts as well, and I had a GTX 1080 and a few other parts laying around. So my 10 year old nephew currently has a system with a 1080, a Ryzen 5 4500, 16GB of DDR4, the OS on a 256GB SATA SSD, a 1TB M.2 for games, and a 1TB HDD for anything else. I loaded it up with a couple dozen games to keep him busy as well.
His face when he realized what it was was priceless. And all his friends were so jealous. That was the best part tbh lmao.
One of the sticks of RAM I has was bad, so he’s currently running only 8GB till the replacement comes in, and my mom has an Xbox controller for him in the mail. So he’s got a pretty legit setup for a 10 year old. Haha.

You’re a good man.
uh, why not put os and games on the same drive?
Nice!! Hope he has a fun time gaming! 😀
Still got that 1080 running my kids racing sim @ 5760×1080. Great card!
