I don't know how or why I got the idea of building a small gaming PC - Mini-ITX
I built a tiny PC for playing classic console games, and you can too
Build a box of retro magic for less than $100.

Ok I'm a bit confused.
What constitutes a 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen CPU? I'm looking at compatibility lists for AMD Ryzen CPU's and Memory QVL to make sure the motherboard supports what I'm wanting to get to build a new PC.
And then for the GPU, I feel that I should go for an AMD graphics card to go with the Ryzen. As it is, I have a few choices but never sure which one is better.
I am on a limited budget so will be putting money away every week til I reach my target - it is better to save up instead of paying on credit as then it ends up costing more than it is worth it.

I took my old man to the ophthalmologist again today and sadly there is not much they can do for his vision. His sight has blurred, some days are better than others.
His computer is his connection to the outside world with him mainly reading the news and looking after his shares, all with smallish print. He currently has a Samsung 22" monitor. (just a normalish thing, not sure of the model)
My question is, would it be better to go for a larger monitor or rather a higher definition one to crispen up the text?

I see both 4k and UHD being used, are they not the same thing?
Would a high refresh rate make a difference?
To go bigger would a large TV be an option?
Don't know much about this stuff only what I read in the threads and those are usually focused on gaming and I guess my aim is a bit different.

Large and higher resolution is going to end up with small text, unless you use the scaling feature..
24" FHD monitor with scaling should suffice.. walk into a makro, Game, computer mania, incredible connection and play around with the scaling on the monitors they have on display.. whatever they have on display should all be FHD in this day and age..

Nearly the same thing, 3840 vs 4096 wide.

That is probably a good way to go.
Thought so, my Google fu was letting me down.
