Help New to Gaming PC
Hi, I can help with that. You're looking to purchase a gaming PC for your son who's currently using a PS5. He wants to upgrade to a PC and has no prior experience. You're considering a bundle around £1000 that includes everything needed, plus a monitor. His current games include Rust, Overwatch 2, Valorant, Call of Duty, etc., and he only needs a monitor—should I suggest getting two monitors? Any advice would be appreciated...

Building is not too difficult, but if you don't want to do it yourself, get the parts and get it done by a professional/store for a few bucks. You will end up with a far better machine than what's readily available in the market.
You can activate the Windows later on and save money there. There is no performance penalty for it.
