No integrated graphics with that CPU for anyone curious. Kind of a bummer.
Alternate Combo:

Swaps the paste for a case (with 3*120mm & 3*140mm RGB fans preinstalled) for $207
Wow this is a great deal for a kids computer. Only thing you need to be careful of is the GPU and the pcie 3.0 you need to make sure you have at least 8 lanes on your GPU. Some budget gpus skimped on the lanes and it will hurt performance in this system.

This is a solid bundle for those looking to upgrade a system which might otherwise be ineligible for an automatic upgrade to Windows 11.
Good luck!

I know they're not made anymore but an R5 5600 or equivalent CPU would definitely tempt me to jump on this. They were $100 + $60-70 for the MB + $50 or so for the RAM. Wish a budget AM5 combo was out there instead!

Ah shucks. Thanks for the heads up on igpu. Would have been a nice upgrade to my ancient unraid server.

The cpu is roughly equivalent to an R5 3600 (which I own actually). While the 4060 is a pretty weak GPU, I'd consider pairing with at least something like an R5 5600 (if on AM4) or an R5 7600 (if on AM5).

What else would i need for the intro level for the kid? Case, PSU, GPU, anything else? Which GPU *not* to use this with?

Tell us the games they play and we can help narrow it down.

Minecraft, TF2 and ultrakill, but I'm sure the list will quickly expand. I can find benchmark, wonder about compatibility with this combo. Also, last PC i built was in 2011, so I'm not sure if extra components are needed (fans?)

Thanks for the iGPU heads up. Shame it's missing - neighbor kid was looking to build but only has a $300 budget.
No iGPU kills my plan to go with this setup.😔
