What do you think ,(Its Been a While) - Gaming PC Build

[Mac802]

Morning,

I have decided to build my 13 yr old son a gaming machine and I have been out of the loop for a while.

He predominantly games using his PS4 but has expressed interest in gaming on PC. Games he plays are Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox <facepalm>

I dont want to break my bank but I have put together a shopping list and would appreciate some feedback

Want him to enjoy the PC gaming but allow room to expand.

120 GB ssd not worth it anymore if you ask me, 240 for your OS should be your starting point and I would also go with the ryzen proc and mobo combo but thats just a preference.
