I had a friend of mine ask me what he should get to build a gaming rig for his daughter in college. Figured I'd throw the question up here (Matrix? ) She plays GTA 5, and monster hunter world, and he'd like something that will be decent for at least 3 years. I'm not sure on budget, but I'm sure fine with spending a few bucks for good quality stuff. Sooo, anybody got a good parts list?

some what hard to come up with anything concrete with out a budget as it can determine how creative we may have to get but as of now with pricing being what it is I say you cant go wrong with a Ryzen build like a Ryzen 5 1600x with a GTX 1060 with about 16gig ram will for the most part handle anything out now and the only thing you may have to upgrade of the course of 3 years is maybe the vid card

for that budget it would be no problem even with liquid cooling, and do you know if they need large storage or more on the speed side as for as hard drive i.e SSD vs a regular HD
