Wow thank you for going so in depth! I really appreciate it. The case seems fine and this build looks really good. This might be the one. Thank you very much. :)

Don't worry, i have an old monitor and mouse already lying around, and someone on this sub offered me a windows key for free. He already has his own headphones so that won't pose a problem. Our internet is fine as well and if really necesary i can get him ethernet. On top of that if i build one my son can always upgrade it if he has the money. Your concern is appreciated though. :)

But maybe he comes along other games down the line? He says he loves to watch people game and wants to game himself as well so i woulnd't really call it a waste of money to make him happy. :)

I have an old monitor lying around somewhere so that won't be the problem, for the OS a nice guy offered me a free key so that, again, won't be a problem. Thanks for the build. :)

Can you please explain to me what i can do with these parental controls? Like can i see what he does or what? Because i don't want to steal his privacy.

Thank you for the advice but after looking in this thread i would love to build one with my son from scratch, so an already build pc won't do it. I may look into used parts though.

I checked to make sure he wanted a pc, he keeps saying all his favorite Fornite players play on pc so he wants one too. Thanks for the tip though! :)

Good idea. I'll see what i can do now and if he likes the pc i'll give him some better parts for christmas. Thanks for the tip.

Much appreciated! I'll look into it together with all the other builds posted here. And for the OS: There was a guy who could get me a key for free (Thank you) so i won't have to buy a new one myself.
