My son (13) has been PC gaming since he was 8 and wants to build his first PC. I let him pick the parts and told him I’d split the cost with him (his twin brother has cerebral palsy and the kid is like my co-parent, so he’s definitely earned it). Before I pull the trigger any advice on his build will be appreciated, I don’t want him or myself screwing up because we didn’t know any better. Thank you for any help/advice.
He plays a lot of Minecraft and likes to code, he also likes fortnight, and is getting into video editing now too. He’s pretty skilled at PC gaming for his age and I could see him getting into more FPS’ as he ages.
EDIT*
Thank you for all the comments, we learned a lot in a very short period of time. Final Build will be:
