Yes. A thousand times yes. It will be a great experience for both of you.
I agree with @pastymuncher: unfortunately you'll need to basically double that for new parts, and £350 won't buy you much of a used PC either.
Budget PC for son

What you guys doing for a monitor?
Son's PC is half the speed as mine but because he has 240hz gsync it's a dream to play on... I often sneak in to play a few games as my monitor is absolutely rubbish for gaming

165hz for me, nowadays 1440p 180hz IPS panels can be had around £140 new. No reason not to upgrade tbh.
Over Christmas there was another etailer selling 240hz panel for £180
He got a monitor for Christmas that is sufficient (I think 165Hz/1ms 27") to plug his PS4 into so he will be good to go there!
what spec system dose he have.
AOC 1440p 165hz think i paid about £200, the son as the same AOC 1080p 260hz
