_KermitWill he play newer RPG games? Skyrim is almost a decade old at this point and you could run it on a super cheap build. If he'll play shit like Cyberpunk 2077, when it comes out, he'd need something way better than was just built for only Skyrim tier/age games.
Also would it be used for any productivity, like DAW/Video editing?
He wants to Dark Souls 3 on it as well, but doesn't have any particular new games in mind. No video editing or anything of the sorts. Just normal programming (which he could do on pretty much any machine). Based on what he told me I think he would like to play modern RPG games, so that would be the priority.

See #3593.
Also:zxpOverclocking: Yes, but preferably not necessary to do it immediatelyThat's not how it works. If you need to overclock to get the performance you want you have to do it immediately. If you don't need to then you never need to. What could possibly a the reason that you need to overclock, but only after 6 months, if you're still playing the same game?
But suppose a game comes out in 5 years, which doesn't run silky smooth. I think then the option to overclock would be nice(?)
