Given what he wants to play (I assume he's not really young because
some of those are quite 'adult' games - GTA V specifically - however,
not telling you how to parent :D ) it looks like a fine setup. I'm
coveting that video card for a start! You could go lower, but would
get terrible frame rates at high detail on those resolutions.

Nice setup, I'm envious :)

Cheers,
