Unfortunately I would not recommend the system above. The CPU / GPU you have selected especially. You could get the 5600G cheaper than the CPU/GPU combo you selected and the integrated graphics it comes with are better than the GT 730.

The system below would be the cheapest I would recommend unless you give up on the idea of gaming and just get an office computer. (This system is way better than a standard office computer though)

I have put my rational for selecting each item in brackets below.

Not sure what monitor you have got but if you are looking to buy one I would recommended 21-24 inch 1080p monitor for this system, Ideally an IPS panel with 165hz refresh rate)

Case
FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) (much better airflow meaning quieter and less need for additional cooling saving you money on other options. For a 12 year old I would be tempted to spend £5 more for the Lancool 215 case which is also a really good case and is more colourful which I imagine may appeal.)
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Six Core CPU with Radeon™ Graphics (3.9GHz-4.4GHz/19MB CACHE/AM4) (The built in graphics with this processor is better than the GPU you selected. It is also cheaper than your Processor / GPU combination)
Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! (Better quality than the Gigabyte board)
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) (you could go for slower RAM but it will notice when gaming and its definitely worth the extra)
Graphics Card
INTEGRATED GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR (GPU) (Better than the discreet GPU you selected. could then upgrade later if required. I would recommend using integrated graphics unless you are willing to spend the extra on at least a GTX 1660 or better)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3000MB/sR | 1600MB/sW) (fast enough boot drive)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2200 MB/R, 1500 MB/W) (£30 pounds more that the 2TB HDD you selected but this will be way faster and much quieter. Unless you are installing lots of new games at the same time you could even go for the PCS 512GB for £50 less)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET (far superior quality to the unit you selected and gives scope for a GPU to be added later. Will also be quieter)
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER (sufficient for your build)
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT
Wireless Network Card
WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0 (the WiFi card you selected is out of date and will not give a good connection. This also includes bluetooth)
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS
Operating System
Windows 11 Home 64 Bit - inc. Single Licence [KUK-00003] (If you have an old computer with Windows on it (even an older version) you can transfer the license to use for windows 11 on this PC free of charge and save £90. It is very easy to do and there are lots of Youtube videos showing you how)
