£600 - £700 build for a friend
So i recently completed my first build and a friend of mine is looking to do the same.
he has asked me to help make up a parts list for him and since i have only completed one build and am still relatively a noob at these things i would appreciate if someone could have a look at the parts list i made up with the help of the pcpartspicker.com build guides.
he is looking for a rig to run the likes of COD, WOW, fortnite, apex legends at high settings. Also wanting it to be VR ready if possible.
it will only be used for gaming but he wants to leave room for future upgrades.
I have a spare case that i will be giving him and he has got a monitor from his father in law, no other peripherals are required in the cost.
here is the parts list, if anyone could let me know if this is suitable or if there is anything that could be tweaked with little cost difference that would be great.
