Help! Son wants to build a gaming PC and I am clueless

I am hoping the below will do the trick, I want to get some of this stuff ordered tonight before the sales switch off - I have somewhere in the region of £400- £500 to spend tonight (The rest is being purchased as Christmas gifts from family) any suggestions which of these are currently the best deals so I can make the max savings?
I wouldn't say any of those prices are spectacular, if you can beat them you're doing good.

thank you! I've just seen this > 850W ASUS TUF Gaming Gold, Fully Modular, 80PLUS Gold, Single Rail, 70.8A, 135mm Fan, ATX PSU for £89.99, no idea if compatible or if its better/worse than your suggestion...
It is a good PSU (there's a review on Anandtech) but the TUF PSUs went up like... £20-£30 at OCUK a few hours ago :(
 
and the motherboard.
You'll need to look around for other pricing if you need it asap, afraid we can't suggest competitors due to forum rules but there are plenty of places to buy from.
Please dont think about paying £300 for a 4060.

I never normally butt in these threads, but why not just get a Corsair PSU, easy RMA in the UK if anything goes wrong? Phanteks? Who knows . . .

Seasonic is UK RMA I think, and you get a replacement shipped from Germany.

If you order an Antec PSU from OcUK, they deal with the RMA process for the duration of the warranty.

Antec has this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/antec-cx500m-rgb-m-atx-mini-tower-black-cas-atc-02734.html for nice and cheap and comes with RGB fans. :) Unfortunately the black one is OOS.
But they do have this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/antec-cx800-elite-rgb-mid-tower-black-cas-atc-02739.html Nice case, Loads of RGB Fans, black and takes a ATX board and is Dual chamber so much easier to make tidy.

Hope that helps.
Thanks! Thefirst one is a mini tower which I assume is too small? I think the second will be too big for the shelf it will sit on
