I'm looking to buy a gaming PC for my 13-year-old son with a budget of €1500. We're located in Ireland and I want a simple, affordable case without any flashy lights. We don't need peripherals or a monitor, and I prefer a fan-cooled setup. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

For a solid gaming rig within €1500, I recommend:
* CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
* GPU: RX 7800 XT (or RTX 4070 if you find a good deal)
* Motherboard: B650 (any decent one with WiFi if needed)
* RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000
* Storage: 1TB NVMe (you can always add more later)
* PSU: 750W Gold
* Cooler: just a basic air cooler
* Case: look for one that focuses on airflow, like a Corsair 3000D or Phanteks P300A
This setup can handle 1080p gaming easily and even does well at 1440p. Plus, it’s flexible for upgrades in the future! You might want to use a price tracker or part picker tool to help optimize costs.
Why would a gaming motherboard need WiFi? Seems unnecessary for gaming, right?
