Advice on first gaming PC

Hello i’m looking into buying my sons first gaming PC. He’s going to invest in a 1080p 144hz monitor shortly and that is going to be seperate from this budget.. he just needs a decent setup to go with that he wants to play Fortnite at 144, he likes rust and warzone. He mainly wants to play survival games. He’s not bothered about playing in 4k he just wants a decent PC with the highest fps for his budget to last several years .
He has a budget of around £800 he could stretch that a little if it’s absolutely necessary but he would like to spend as little as possible for what he needs.

thank you!

His best bet is to save about another £400 as prices are at an all time high at the minute

That's what you want to be looking at for 1080p 144hz atm. Ideally you would want to spend £100 more on top of that and get the 5600x instead of the 3600 CPU
