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?
