I'm sure others will link elsewhere but I found this a useful resource when building mine: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com
I would say £1k would be plenty depending on what you're looking to play and at what resolution. But do factor in peripherals like a monitor, mouse, keyboard and sound (headset or speakers) -
Copy the parts list from an existing build (I like Quiet PC stuff) and build that. At least you know it'll work if you build it properly.

Having done similar a couple of years ago for gamer boy, I'd bust the budget and buy the rig up thread that @Soul is flogging. Gamerz need ramz and GPUz.

My 15 year old son wants a gaming PC and is keen on the idea of building one from parts. I'm thinking it could be a nice project for us to work on together but I've been a Mac user all my life and know nothing about PCs. Anyone got any tips on where to start and how far would a budget of about 1k get us?
