"Student PC" Over $1,300

I am proud that my son built his first PC successfully. It was a great achievement for a 15-year-old planning, researching, learning, and building a PC all by himself. Well, I admit this new PC is way much more powerful than a "Student PC". It belongs to the different category "Gaming PC". However, it is worth every penny seeing the big smile in my son's face.

1. CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Matisse 3.6GHz 8-Core AM4 Boxed Processor with Wraith Prism Cooler $279.00
