Your bio says you're from BR. If you are, I wouldn't mind building one for you.
You're looking at a near top of the line build with that money if peripherals and monitor arent included

1500 including monitor, windows, and kb/m?
And building is super easy. And fun. What kind of games does he play?

I have a 1070 for sale 
Posted on 5/15/18 at 10:23 am to Devious
I'd have to check on the games, I know he's currently on an old MAC, and everything's on steam.
I have a an old Dell monitor ~2005.

As blue mentioned, several of us don't mind throwing one together if you're local.

Not if he needs windows, monitor, and periphs

Periphs are cheap and easy to get. The monitor is one I'm still deciding on. I'm probably going to go with a 24" 1080p 60hz monitor for now, and they can upgrade in the future. Getting the guts down first is more important

This is without the peripherals, and I can likely find stuff cheaper than this if I go looking for sales.
A decent 1080p monitor - ~$60 on eBay or craigslist
Mouse and Keyboard - ~$50 for something okay

I'm up a creek.
I've got no idea what language you are speaking.
Looks like I need to do a little more homework.
And yes, Im in BR.

I would go 8600/1070. fricking RAM prices suck.
Eta: a 1080ti for 1080 is so overkill

That's why I said they can use the 1080 monitor as a place holder.
It's better to go higher tier on the parts now and then get the monitor later instead of doing it vice versa

Still 1070 for 1440 ain't bad at all
Posted on 5/15/18 at 11:11 am to Devious
I did it for a while, which is why I upgraded to a 1080>1080ti.
But higher refresh monitors > higher pixel monitors. Also if the kid wants to save some, you can get Asus VG248Q monitors for less then $150

Let's see what he plays first. Imagine running a 1080ti for mostly minecraft
Posted on 5/15/18 at 11:14 am to Devious
I assumed he's graduating high school, so I figured it was fortnite, pubg, etc
What's wrong with a 1080ti for minecraft

Good point. He isn't 8
And nothing as long as you play real games every now and then to actually spin the gpu fans for a few minutes.
