A gaming PC on a desk can cover school and games: browser, Teams or Zoom, Office, then play after hours. You do not need two machines if this one is balanced.
Aim for enough RAM for multitasking (16GB in most homes), a fast SSD for boots and project files, and a GPU matched to their games. A silent office box will choke once mods or modern titles show up.
Accounts, parental controls and where the PC lives matter as much as the specs sheet. We can prep Windows cleanly and talk setup through when you enquire.
