The CX5

What, the Golf isn't enough... The CX5 comes at almost twice the price (vendor-side), a whopping 1600 bucks for what?! Well, only the best for your angel's Fortnite Pro Career, eh?

Description

So, your kid wants a gaming computer, you want your kid to shut up and of course, you never learned to set borders or enforce rules around the house, because your kids just get everything.

While you can’t afford a stretch and security guards, you still want your prescious little angel to be safe and therefore bought a bit of an SUV - well, as much as you can afford. Which isn’t much… Might be due to your PC buying decision.

Disclaimer

Don’t take the game-purchasing advice here serious. If you do, please play the games first to get to know they won’t turn you (or your kids) into violent monsters.
