    Hey

    I'm teaching my 11 year old daughter how to build a rig, what the components are and how to basic code.

    She plays Minecraft primarily so the Rig doesn't have to be super high spec. Its been a while since I built a rig so any advice on suitable components would be welcome.

    Massive GPU shortage right now so you'd be looking at an APU system more than likely which could run Minecraft fine tbh. As long as you're ok with that people can put a list together based around an APU. If you're dead set on there being a dedicated GPU, you'll just have to wait out the shortage and wait for more budget offerings but that will take quite a while

    OK appreciate it.

    Might wait out the GPU and up the budget a little bit so that we can get more from the build if we need to.

    I think AMDs APUs are about to land soonish. Could build around one of those.
