Can you help establish a support system for a nearby school?
Here is an AM5 option right around your budget, you may need to update the bios first before you can use the 8500g, if you dont want to take that risk you could always sub in a Ryzen 5 7600 for only $20 more. I figured the G model gave you an iGPU to play with as well. You also dont necessarily need the CPU cooler, but it'll do a much better job than the bundled cooler that comes with the CPU. I also picked the Gamemax M60 case because its all steel and has a mesh side panel vs glass since kids are kids and glass breaks. I've worked with it a couple of times, and its a decent case, easy enough to work in, no front intake but both side panels are mesh so it has good airflow. It is also lockable, if you look in the back you'll see a little loop that will let you attach a lock. I added some fans since it only comes with 1 but you could always source fans from elsewhere.
