New Ryzen 3 1200 budget build for my son. Waiting on parts to ship.

It also performs as well, if not a bit better, than the onboard Ryzen 2000 series (which is about a GTX 1030).

On one hand that's actually impressive. On the other it just reminded me the most recent GPU I bought was a GT 1030 half height card for a refurbished Thinkcentre I got for a song, not even a GTX series. Because that was the only one at the shelf with the price I'm willing to pay. The GPU prices looks to stay crappy for a while longer.

Yeah it's insane. I paid about $400 for my current GTX 970 over 3 years ago, and today I wouldn't be able to get a less-powerful 1060 for that price.

He mostly plays e-sport titles like LoL, Smite, Overwatch, and CS:GO.

You guys still play Minecraft together?

I still mess around with modded Minecraft, but he's too cool to play videogames with his dad.
