so my friend wants me to find parts and build him a pc and i said i would as i love building pcs. so i was gonna find the parts my self but i thoguht id ask on here to see wat other people would do for computers and these price points.

 

He has told me that he wants to play fallout 4 at 1080p at as close to maxed out as he can andthen he will use the pc to play other games but nothing too hard to run.

 

so can some of you guys help me out and give me a few pc's at either £400 or £600 please i will be very thankful.

It's dual core with hyper threading, so for 1080p it shouldn't be huge problem.

I would get i5 6500 and GTX 1060, but I don't think there will be much money left for other components.

Intel i7 12700K | Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 | Pure Loop 240mm | G.Skill 3200MHz 32GB CL14 | CM V850 G2 | RTX 3070 Phoenix | Lian Li O11 Air mini

Samsung EVO 960 M.2 250GB | Samsung EVO 860 PRO 512GB | 4x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 140mm fans

WD My Cloud 4TB

get an rx 480 or an r9 390 instead, the gtx 970 only has 3.5gb of usuable vram which is bottlenecking some games currently.
