New Gaming PC

[Jonnibravo]

Hi All,

My son wants a new gaming PC, what would you advise. Should I buy a straight pre built or build my own, and which direction should I go AMD or Intel, I went intel with my new build but I think my son may want to upgrade and build on a budget PC.

He needs it to play fifa 23 and call of duty I have advised 1080p to begin with but if we could get 1440p from the budget of £1000-£1250 that would be great.
