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

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.

Will you still get updates and everything alright running that?
Absolutely. I use WAUManager.exe to manually select those items that I want to download. That's a big improvement over the auto update protocol found in W11. I also image the C partition (only 11 GB) in case I need to undo the update(s).

Always run a web browser like Firefox inside a sandbox(ex. Sandboxie) for maximum protection.

This is another case of mixed up terminology; I know what he was trying to say and it was if it would bottleneck higher end GPUs and it probably would, especially at higher frame rates and resolutions.
higher resolutions offload the bottlenecking to begin with....it wont bottleneck anything its quick enough

Again, I believe you guys are misunderstanding what the guy is probably asking; benchmarks aren't games. Some modern games will bottleneck with this processor. This isn't a good base to build a gaming PC at this point in time, certainly nothing high end. And then there's that whole pcie 3 issue mentioned above which with bottleneck some AMD cards
