Unless this is an exercise in building a machine cause it's fun, buy another last gen HP workstation.
Otherwise I'd go with an am4 platform 16 thread cpu.
I understand what you're saying perfectly.
What is established as one billion didn't follow the established counting pattern, following the established progression is only one thousand millions.
There is no math here at all. Just saying a...
That's not a billion billions. You're missing 000. But why isn't that one thousand billions?
100 hundreds is a thousand.
100 thousands is a hundred thousand.
1000 thousands is a million.
100 millions is a hundred million.
Following this...
Maybe someone knows why, but I understood numbers didn't work like that. That's actually a thousand millions, just like you can have a hundred thousands. It's not until you get to a million millions that it should be billions.

Not everyone can just drop 1k on a new system.
9/10 double your ram and pick up a new GPU is all you need to run whatever.
If I have $300... I can, upgrade or I can buy a new cpu and GPU and look at them on my shelf.
Huh? That would be difficult. I've still got an AMD FX gaming system. This stuff all still works, upgrade options are more difficult and vary case by case. You don't need to replace everything, but things like the rx 6600 only running on pcie...
I would just ask that they grab a DVD copy of BF2 and 2142, play it for a few months, learn everything about those games, then add the destruction of BC2 and additional gameplay of BF4, and then just mash it all together with a real BF fan base...
