Friend wants a 4k build

Cgermino89

Hi everyone. I have a buddy who wants to game at 4k, but and i can't believe I'm asking this for him. He wants it to be as cheap as possible... I know, I know I said the same thing, but maybe someone here can do me a favor and try and make a possible build so I can show him. He plans on playing AAA titles with it. I really appreciate the feedback, and look forward to seeing what's possible. he doesn't need any OS seeing as he has an extra key.

I mean, you can just change the location with the drop down menu in the top right. The total came to under $1500. Damn you UK for making things so expensive.

Best not to do a direct conversion as things are a lot more expensive outside the US. Refer to my previous post.

Parts prices vary drastically depending on region. Doing it like this is rather pointless, it's better just to make a list starting with the hosts country.

I'll make a note. I overlooked the location, so I ended up making a rough template of the parts to consider and a rough price.
