It's an odd world where building a gaming PC is now considered charity
Heheh...Yeah, I never said gaming PC, the last build was a Linux machine with a RX470 and i5 4460 for an autistic boy who is into programming and tinkering with Linux distributions. Also needed it for school work. Thrown out by his parents, lonely, assisted living in a small room, so we got him a coffee machine, water cooker and microwave, and when he is here I always cook him a good meal. Thin as a leaf, eats two plates full, smears my herb butter on both sides of the bread.
He is a good friend of my son who is also autistic.
The build before was a Ryzen 5 with a GTX 1060 and an old Wacom tablet for a girl who can really paint great manga type art, her old PC took 20 minutes to start, which I fixed and gave to the guy I mentioned before. Her dad died, mom doesn't have much, again pc needed for school work.
Wow. This is amazing.
Thankyou for doing what you do.
