But tell the kids that its not the greatest gaming PC, its a starter gaming PC. (100% fine for the games they play, better then console) tell them it could be better. and say if they want to make it better they have to help you and tell you what you need to do to upgrade it in the future you'll help them do it as a birthday present or something. it gets them to teach them selves about computers very early giving them a foundation of technology most kids wont have. (Help them not get scammed in the future, save money, repair things and maybe even a future career path). it will be expensive so a Xmas or birthday thing lol
Ram (1 x 16gb stick) and GPU (9060 xt 16gb '$350' for 1080p monitor) are the things you'd want to upgrade. and the GPU needs to work within the constraints of the Power Supply and ensuring the GPU will fit in the physical case. for ram you can just order the same model that comes with the PC. just wait more then a year from now lol ram prices are going crazy right now lol (Demand from AI data centers, wont last forever) and you can google more things how to do it. those upgrades are pretty easy especially adding ram. ram should cost about $50 to 60 after prices stabilize
As long as it handles 1080p with decent frame rates, he will be happy. He is currently running a Intel Pentium with integrated graphics that we built 8 years ago for Minecraft.
Worth pulling the trigger?

Very little, if any, performance difference between DDR4 and DDR5 in gaming. The linked deal has double the ram which will make a bigger difference.
CPU $140
Mobo $70
Case $60
PSU $60
RTX 5050 $230
So... About $560 in parts before drive and RAM which are crazy right now. You'd be hard pressed to build your own at this performance level for the price.
Except, that Newegg doorbuster is awesome if you can snag it.
