Looking for help on buying a gaming pc for my son. He's a Serious gamer. And I've wasted my brain spending hours looking at pcs but not sure what to buy. Budget of 800 quid for the tower. Need a pc that will run the new back ops game and fortnite obvs smoothly. Can u advise please? Thanks

How tech savy is he? Good enough to build a system?

If so buy him the parts and let him build the system, honestly I have just as much fun building a PC as I do gaming on it.
