First time gaming build

[samygiy]

This is a build for my friend.

 

We're in the UK and the budget is £650, and we're not going above that.

 

He's looking to run:

 

Heroes and Generals at medium - high

 

Heavily modded minecraft,

 

Heavily modded garry's mod,

 

Kerbal Space Program,

 

Portal 2 at medium - high

 

BeamNG.Drive at Medium - high, all of this hopefully at 60 FPS, if feasible.

 

He's planning on running a single 1920 x 1080 60hz monitor.

 

He doesn't need a monitor or other peripherals, but he needs a copy of windows.

 

He's upgrading because his old AIO just wasn't cutting it for gaming.

 

We've put together a build here:
