What's the best option for buying pre-built gaming PCs these days?

A friend asked me about buying her son a gaming PC for xmas. I've always just built my own, the last being a build I did with parts ordered the parts from CCL in the UK, think that was just before brexit kicked in so it was good value. Anyway he's a bit young to be building himself and it's getting very close to xmas now…

Anyway he's a bit young to be building himself and it's getting very close to xmas now so ordering a pre-built machine from Germany might not be here in time. Budget would be under for 1k for the pc and monitor. Any suggestions who is good to order from and get it before xmas?

Interesting, never even considered amazon. In the past amazon was never a good value place to buy PCs or components, shows how long I've been out of pc building scene. So would something like this be okay you reckon?
