I've been asked to build a PC for my little cousin since his parents aren't tech-savvy. I've had my own PC for years but I'm not experienced in building them. I want to make sure to keep the budget around $1000. My cousin, who is 10, primarily wants to play BeamNG Drive, but I want to ensure he can explore other games once he gets bored of that. Ideally, I'm aiming for a setup that can run most games at 80+ frames per second, but I understand if 60 is more realistic for our price range. Here's the list of parts I'm considering: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VMF3bp]. Any thoughts or advice?

Honestly, you might want to consider going for a pre-built system instead. Depending on where you live, pre-builts can sometimes have better specs for a similar price compared to DIY builds. Plus, if your cousin runs into any tech issues, it's going to save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Just think about the potential troubleshooting you'll have to do if something goes wrong!
I appreciate the input! I’ve taught him about internet safety, but I understand how tech support could be a hassle! I’m excited to see him take an interest in building PCs though, so I’ll definitely look into pre-builts. Thanks!
