A coworker is giving her son a computer for his birthday. I had this laying around, except for the GPU and case.

My limit, to swap the GPU and case around is only 250USD.

I believe her kid is turning 13 or so, and is interested in Fortnite, GTA, Etc.

The SSD could help a lot
I've never liked the look of the small GPUs. Is there any difference in power?

With no difference in power, the deal is better than. I'm not the one looking at it
I'll make sure to get the difference. He'll be happy to have the SSD.
