Tbh I'm not sure on the budget yet he's at school think it's part of his Christmas present and he's hoping to get a part time job soon.

Thank You I guess the main thing for future proofing is the GPU not sure what games he plays but I'd imagine he'd want to be able to play the latest.

So my cousins decided to have a go at building his first pc his budget is £1000 and I was wo dering what you thought of his build. It's mainly for gaming I'm so out of the loop nowadays. Part picker list

Managed to get an amazon used like new Ryzen 5 5600x for under £200 Now I just need a cooler any suggestions?
