Friends New PC build

[EPICSNIPER145]

My friend is moving from console to pc and he has a budget of $1000 for everything. He also needs all of the peripherals. Can you guys create builds for him as well so i can get him a truly good pc.

[Tmh85]

So he needs OS, Monitor, Keyboard (What type of switch), and mouse? (Are these what you are referring to as peripherals?)

yes but he also needs a headset and i would like him to be able to have mechanical but if he cant thats fine. He also needs a build of course.

Maybe a Headset/Speakers/Microphone too...

[jlangford.9]

adding a $90 mech keyboard and $75 headset would eat up lots of the budget, what games does he want to play, at what frame rates?

Do you live in the US?

Location plays a huge part in costs.

what about monitor

[Akolyte]

what about monitor

Oh, Sorry I'll sort it out. Here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2RDaJ

[jlangford.9]

the games he plays makes a big difference in price, as less demanding games only need an apu, where more demanding games like battlefield need a cpu+gpu to play on high/ultra 1080p. Does he want to play fps games or games like LoL and WoW?

He's in Canada, not the US.
