First, he doesn’t know enough about them to tell me and has no specific games in mind…..as far as I know.
Second, I’m computer illiterate for the most part……
What brands do I need to look at? $2000 and less

First off, it's a pretty awful time to build a computer with RAM prices being through the roof.
Second off, we would need more info. What games does he play? Any idea what resolution/frames he wants? He might know this kind of info if he wants a gaming PC.
Do you already have the secondary items needed - mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc?

I looked into building a pc last year and decided to get a GeForce Now subscription instead. Works well and I don't notice any input lag at all as long as I have a stable internet connection. They put a cap at 100 hours a month, so that's worth keeping in mind (extra time is pay per use).

He’s not even sure. He mentioned hertz and fpm……I’ll dig deeper. I have zero interest in building one. Really wondering what credible brands to look at in the prebuilt realm

Just find a pre-built in your price range at Microcenter.

I’ve heard pretty good things about Starforge PCs. Their Horizon series is probably what you’re looking for.
