Hello
I am hoping that someone can give this a once over check. Its years since I was building PC's so out of date on my knowledge.
Key thing with the case choice is he would like colours.

Case: PCS SPECTRUM II ARGB MID TOWER CASE (PWM) (Special Offer)
Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/19MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B550M DS3H (mATX, DDR4, AM4, PCIe 4.0)
Memory (RAM): 16GB PCS PRO DDR4 3200MHz (1 x 16GB)
Graphics Card: 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3050 - HDMI, DP, LHR
1st M.2 SSD Drive: 256GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (3200 MB/R, 2700 MB/W)
1st Storage Drive: 1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE
Power Supply: CORSAIR 550W CX SERIES™ CX-550 POWER SUPPLY
Processor Cooling: PCS FrostFlow 80 V2 Series High Performance CPU Cooler (AMD)
LED Lighting: 50cm ARGB LED Strip

This is a base spec as he is 13 and playing roblox, although this should be PC that will lead him to better games.

Thank you

Stuart

A very basic system will cover off Roblox as that is a pretty low end game. However "although this should be PC that will lead him to better games" may be a different matter depending on the games. The 3050 is a poor GPU regardless of the game and a lot of newer games will refuse to run as they need 8GB VRAM and beyond.

If we can have an absolute maximum budget for this, then we can see if we can suggest something. Although, at the budget I'm guessing at, we may not have much wiggle room
