Use Bootcamp to install Windows, depending on the computer and windows version you install, it should run anything just fine.

I use bootcamp because many of the games I play are demanding on the machine, and I don;t need the mac OS running in the back ground.

To get the best out of your system resources I would go boot camp.
Do you know what kind of games the youth intends to play?
