Hi,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice about building a gaming PC for my 13 year old boy.
He has worked extremely hard this year at school, so I told him we could build a gaming PC together this summer. He currently uses a laptop for games, but it is about 10 years old which he uses for his homework. Therefore the games he plays are very basic. I want the machine to be able to play games at an ok rate, doesn't have to be max settings. I have a budget of about 1k.
There appears to be some good components posted in the last few days such as:
SSD:
hotukdeals.com/dea…597
Graphicss Card:
hotukdeals.com/dea…878
Would these be ok for a new build within my budget?
Also, what other deals are good for the other parts, which would all work together.
I have not built a PC for about 10 years, so everything is all very new to me.
Oh, I think his main requirement is that it has the fancy RGB lights.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

sorted byonce u got list of parts, start setting up alerts on here. Both SSD and GPU look like a good starting point...
i'd get an i5 12400 or ryzen 5 5600 on amd 4 or if you wanted to push it out ryzen 7600 on am5

£1k starting budget for a gaming PC is about the norm, if you can do it cheaper - do share the specs!
Looks like this deal just popped up - even has the RGB requirement!
