This being a 5070 is about 40% faster and 12gb VRAM makes it much more future proof vs 8gb. This one has me personally thinking really hard but about $300 more than I wanted to spend.
IMO this is almost over kill for a first computer, but it will work well for many years to come. Not to mention the 850w power supply will support very powerful GPU upgrades in the future. Also, for short money you can add an extra year or two warranty. I think this is about the cheapest you will find a 5070 prebuilt right now from a good brand.
As for a monitor get something 1440p with a good refresh rate. The 5070 was made for 1440p gaming.
This isn't a PC that would ever need much upgrading, pretty much ideal as it is.
Generally this would be paired with around a 27" 1440p 120hz or better monitor if he wants to sit at a desk, but not everyone wants to sit at a desk while gaming, some of us like to use a big 4k tv on the wall so we can relax and recline on the couch or recliner or in bed.
You'll be able to tell which display would work best by how he's using his laptop, at a desk or on the couch or reclining in bed.
I'd pair that with my 77" Sony oled and a decent wireless mouse and keyboard.
