PC Upgrade Ideas (Around $1,200 Budget)

Alright, alright—no more yelling from me, I promise. haha
The reason it came with Windows 10 pre-installed is mostly because they run tests on the hardware before shipping it out—plus, I guess I was just feeling a bit lazy about it.
It’s an optical drive because my kid still gets those educational DVDs bundled with his schoolbooks.
I'm sure someone will chime in saying there's a better way to set things up, since I'm hardly a tech expert or anything, but I appreciate the feedback regardless.
He’s pretty much stuck on Fortnite right now, though I imagine he'll move on to something a bit more intense in a year or so.

If he’s running a 1080p monitor, that RX580 is actually plenty. Just set some settings to high instead of max; you'll barely notice the difference.
