You definitely want a ryzen 5 chip or better, and a 10 or 20 series gpu by nvidia or an rx 500 series gpu to run assassins creed 60fps at decent settings 

Thanks!

Neither of these are a good buy now. It's not that they're bad deals, it's just that those CPUs and GPUs are a bit past it. If I was you I'd definitely look into non-new parts. The reason I'm saying non-new and not used is because you can quite often get refurbished parts for a good chunk less than new. Last christmas I got a refurbished GTX 1070 for about £50 than they were going for new so it might be worth looking around. I'd recommend looking for those but I think it's worth saying don't go for anything older than 1st gen Ryzen 5 (although 2nd gen would be a better shout), Intel 8th gen (although AMD would be a better shout from the value point of view because their motherboards are cheaper) and nothing older than Nvidia 10 series on the GPU side.
