Ok my parents are going to be really nice to me. See right now I have a dell laptop but what is going to happen is my dad is going to take my laptop and let me choose and build a brand new computer. And as far as I know there is budget because they want it to last a while (futureproof) but of course I can't go crazy. But here is my first rough draft and just want to see your opinions and want you think of it
