Could you make a full spec list.

 

The userbenchmark one has some odd things like 2800mhz ram and such.

 

Also it lacks info on psu, case,...

 

Mw2 as in the old or new one?

So are you giving her the parts you described and then getting new storage, psu and case?

 

It will play the new cod but you might run into ram issues. It also wont push to 144fps if that is a goal.

 

It will be a nice start tho and if ever an upgrade would be needed thr cpu, board and maybe ram (as 2800mhz isnt really a thing this just seems like an odd xmp profile) would need upgrading.

Is that budget is for upgrading your gf's system or for buying yourself a new one?

 

There isn't much that's wort upgrading to without getting new motherboard. You could in theory upgrade to a 7700K, but unless you get it for basically free its not worth it.

You could also get some faster and/or more RAM, but RAM speed dont matter as much on Intel systems, and there is not much to gain above 16 GB for gaming.

If you want me to answer, please use the quote function or tag me. I dont get notified unless you do

The plan is to decide if its worth giving her the parts and just buying  better parts for my self  or buying  said parts for her and leaving my pc as is

I mean if she is just starting out and you want an upgrade give her the old pc and you get a new one.

 

Seems fair and a nice gift.

For 2000 in croatia you should be able to get at least a 12600k, b660, 32gb ddr4, good 850w psu and a 3060ti.

 

Cpu will carry you till the end of this console generation so you can slap in new gpus as you please. A used 3080/3090 might even fit
