800$ budget PC

[slap_shot18]

Friend is looking to get a PC to play competitive TF2 (he currently plays on a Mac )and I'm been told to design him a PC. I've got a fairly good idea of the PC but I figured the forum knows a lot and like to spec out PCs. The only requirement is a 1080p 144hz monitor and a GPU capable of driving TF2 at that speed. Preferred triple AAA titals at 60hz. So 960/380 and up. Have fun

Budget? Location? We need to know more!

1080p, 144Fps TF2 and 60+ fps on any other game. Am I correct in assuming that?

wow you are coming off really aggressively in this thread.

Does he need peripherals and OS? Or only the tower and monitor?

Only tower and monitor, he's gonna use what he already has for peripherals.

" 1080p 144hz monitor and a GPU capable of driving TF2 at that speed. Preferred triple AAA titals at 60hz" and then a guy says the exact same thing. I'm little mad yea, sry.

I like it, fairly similar to what I picked out. Thanks!

@slap_shot18 I've seen people come up with i5+R9 380 in $500 budget. So that could happen however I think people will skip over monitor requirement and post $800 builds

 

I would suggest Benq XL2411Z $250) as it has great feedback from players. Of course there are cheaper ones ($200)

He'll need a 144hz monitor for competitive TF2 gaming. Nice build though!
