Help with a component list for gaming pc

Hope somebody can help me.

14yr old son wants to pool his Chrimbo money, then build a gaming pc with my help. Promised him i'd do it with him last year and thought it would be a good project for him to learn from, but never got round to it.

Has a troublesome Xbox 360 at moment, but needs a new pc anyway, which he wants to use new PC for gaming as well. He's into Call of duty type games and FIFA but not sure how good a PC is going to be for his budget of around £450 - £500

So before i agree just hoped somebody would give me a componant list for his budget.

I was thinking of buying components in January, maybe them being a bit cheaper then.

Already have a monitor and OS but thats about it. I put a corsair 500W PSU in his PC about year ago, so not syre if thats usable?

I told him for the money he will have, i'm not sure he will be happy with quality of gameplay, since he's been used to Xbox.
Am i correct?

Thanks in advance
