Hey there, my nephews. They’re two now and aren’t into the old consoles anymore—they’re moving to PCs and laptops. I already have a laptop for them, but they’ll probably argue over who gets to play first. So I give them two hours or one of them plays while I lock down the laptop with a password, then I take control of my own PC. Most of them just want to play Roblox Studio, which is great! The older one likes ARK Survival Evolved. I really need that cheap build, so I asked for a mini PC but they said it’s not worth it. I prefer keeping this machine at home with a password, letting them play only a little time each day. For the build, I’ve got a local setup: Intel Core i5-12400F, 12th Gen, ASUS PRIME B660M-K, Corsair iCUE VENGEANCE RGB, and a 3200MHz GeForce GTX 1660 with 6GB GDDR6. The case and power supply are still my concerns, but I’m confident I can find something solid. I just need advice on the motherboard and CPU options. Total cost comes to about $756 at a local store—any suggestions?
