Hello so I'm 12 almost 13. I wish for my 13 birthday pc parts to build a pc. I know a little bit about the topic and have been watching videos about hardware every day for almost a year. I put together a few parts. And checked if everyone is compatible. It should be a 350 euro gaming pc with an amd ryzen 3 3200g. Anyway, my mother always says that I could 1. Build no pc and 2. That I have a ps4 and no longer need it. And that I should rather buy a laptop for school. Now come my questions would you trust me that I can build a pc with 12 or 13? And how could I convince my mother that I can also build it myself?
Basically, I would trust you to do that. But gaming PC around 350 with a Ryzen 3200G makes relatively little sense for me.
You can't use the Ryzen's internal GPU for gaming, so in a setup the Ryzen G makes very little sense for gaming because you have to install a graphics card anyway.
Of course, you can build a PC at your age if you try hard and find out more.
You can tell your mother B. Say that a laptop for the same money offers much less performance.
350 Euro PC = good price-performance ratio, creates every task of everyday life such as Word / Excel / Internet / etc. With ease
350 Euro laptop = already reaches its limits with a few too many tabs in the Internet browser, opening tables can take a while, there's hardly any additional benefit like entertainment.
So first of all, a laptop is very practical. There are very good ones and you can take them with you, which can be very practical. I originally wanted a computer too, but then I got a laptop and am absolutely satisfied with it.
Personally, I don't think it's good that your mother says that you can't do that… And that a PS4 is enough, well, they are completely different systems.
I don't know you, but when I was 12 or 13 I was able to repair electrical appliances (I do it every now and then as a hobby). You shouldn't be tied to your age, and if you don't know what to do, you can ask someone. Maybe you know someone who can help you with that.
Do you buy everything yourself? If so, then it's your parts, so you can assemble them too. But as I said, a little help never hurts.
For 350 euro you can completely forget the topic "gaming", what do you want to play for the price range, Tetris?
stay with your Ps4, so you are more than well served for your age, a reasonably reasonable gaming PC, self-made, starts when the prices are good at 700-800 euro for the games that are currently on the market.
Stay with the Ps4, wait until you are 16, then wish you a really expensive PC for your birthday, but you will only get very little for your 17th birthday or Christmas, because it is quite expensive if the PC is supposed to be good…
The answer is not wrong per se, but I have to add an empirical value here.
The internal graphics of the Ryzen processors are relatively potent. With Vega 11 graphics I could already play GTA V in 1080p with 30 FPS (low graphics quality, of course, console level).
At times I even got stuck on a Vega 3 of the Athlon 3000G and could even play things like Black Mesa with it.
For 250-350 euro (new price), the Ryzen Vega graphics processors are in principle unbeatable, because they allow a lot of gaming. Any better graphics card would either exceed the budget, or you would no longer have the money to buy a suitable processor that can fire the graphics card.
I'm now 14 and bought my first pc when I was 12. From my father's friend and therefore a damn good price-performance ratio. Then I exchanged a lot and now have a good pc. I initially paid 100 euro for an i7 2600k plus boars and everything else. If you want to have a pc then tell her what @Tripper meant. I know that from 2 years ago. Stand up for the fact that you can buy one and otherwise buy one part after the other
It's true that they have a lot of power for an integrated GPU, but for me it doesn't fit the term gaming PC.
Of course, with an external GPU it gets expensive, so I also said that I'm 350 for a gaming PC is unrealistic.
For me, this is more of an office PC on which you can play well optimized games like GTA V or the like more or less well
I have already informed myself and have also worked a lot on laptops and controllers
