So my last build was in 2008 and is now finally giving up the ghost. It was a mid-range build that has worked very well up until a couple months ago.
I've been torn between just keeping Chromebooks, but my son really wants to continue using Steam, learn to code and create animation. So I figure its worth it for him (and likely his younger siblings) to go ahead and build a new PC.
So, I'm not aiming for high-end, but I want it to suit his needs as well as live another long life as my last two builds (8yrs and 7yrs).
Please tell me if this looks good for the $$ or if I could switch out and save/get better hardware, etc.
