/r/buildapc - Planning on building a computer but need some advice? This is the place to ask!

I'm looking to either buy a prebuilt or build a pc for my 17 year old son. He plays a lot of games online and over the last couple years has started modding games and coding on my old laptop. I want to get him something that I know will last and that he can potentially upgrade as his skills and needs improve. I'd like to stay under $1k if possible, but I understand that a good pc can get pricey.I'm going into this pretty well totally blind so any advice is very much appreciated.
