Computational Device Technological Discussion Thread

My buddy's son (13,maybe 14 soon) has been saving his odd jobs money all summer and wants to build his first gaming rig. He's only has about $500, I think I have a monitor and some other accessories for him, but wanted to see if anyone is upgrading and want to sell some parts off?

Also, if you're bored, help me spec him something in budget on partspicker.?
