My 9 year old wants a gaming pc to mainly plays Roblox and Fortnite. He has a ps5, but he says there are some Roblox games you can only play on pc or laptop. With that being said does this pc look suitable? I’ve done a little research but far from an expert on this. Looking for some advice from people who are well versed in this area. TIA
Go ahead and roast my set-up
I have been using these hyper x headphones for about 2 years now and they recently started to dryrot. What are some good adorable(>100$) headphones preferably with a built in mic?
I’m a small YouTuber looking for a good pc to play Roblox and Fortnite
Thinking about trading my Xbox series S for this cause I rarely even play on it anymore

The wires could be better but I’m actually quite happy
Made a new addition to the top of my PC, gives it a nice purr now
So never really put together and actual gaming space for myself before but finally started to do it. Looks a little empty still, so need some inspo - cool devices, deco etc etc. I did get a stand to put my controller and headphones on.
And YES! I know that case is the first thing that needs to go, I still have a 3080 in it so I will upgrade that when I feel the need to upgrade my GPU.
PS: if you like cable management don’t be an idiot like me and go with glass desks, I already had.
Basically the title question, including current and upcoming. I’ll be putting together a new computer no later than the end of January 2025 but I’m a very narrow gamer. The only game I’m currently thinking of trying to finally absolutely dominate is Cyberpunk 2077. I played it last somewhere between 2 and 3 years ago, before the 2.0 update, and with a 2089 Ti. If I had any concerns it’s that I’d be wasting my money on what is rumored to be an absurdly expensive card (though I doubt I’ll get the 5090). I’m not asking about just games that will test the hardware limits (if any) but also games whose maximum graphics and performance will not just be thoroughly crushed. I can’t imagine I’ll be doing less than 4K, but I still want to do research on what’s considered the best for an ultimate gaming experience.
I know we don’t really have the specs for the 5000 series nailed down, but I feel like we’ve got enough for people with a bit more experience and expertise to give some opinions.
