Thanks to everybody for their advice. My son has taken it on board and
upped his specs. I was hoping that it would have the opposite effect but
that's old farts for you.
Boxes have started to arrive and it is hard not to kick him out of the
way and get stuck in to the nice shiny bits.

Roger,
Looking at the games he wants to play and depends on what settings
they will be at, he may benefit from a i7 and if gaining especially
WoW, water cooling is the best option as a cooler with a heat sink
won't last too long. I'd recommend at least a 750w power to withstand
powering the harddrives, motherboard and graphics card, aswell as any
audio he maybe adding and/or multiple screens.

My son has listed his dream machine for 1080p gaming, (maybe
1440p) in particular The Witcher 3, FFXIV, GTA V, WoW and
Dishonored 2 on its release.
I have no need of a machine costing more than £200 and am in no
position to evaluate his choices. My eyes moisten at the thought
of a Raspberry Pi 2.
I was wondering if anybody with experience in these matters could
advise. I just have a feeling that this is overkill.
