Hi, hoping for some help please. My soon to be 13 year old has been saving like mad for a gaming PC to replace his current laptop set up. We have a top TOP budget of £1400. He mostly plays minecraft and valorant so needs to be speced to those. We have a budget of £150 for monitor.

I'm sorry I don't know what a configuration link is and can't see it on the How to Post link :-(

Here's my suggestion for an entry level FHD/1080p system that is more or less within your budget :)

Thanks to the newest technology, the 4060 performs better than the 3060 at the exact same price.
