1200 quid newbie PC - need help

Hey folks

My little bro is after his first PC. I'm helping fund it so I'm hoping someone can spec me a decent PC around 1200 quid* with monitor and peripherals. It's a lot to ask for in that price range tbh.

Game played: Rocket League, COD (sorry!), BF1, SW maybe

He's used to XBOX so graphics don't need to be epic

*I am on a USA Mac so ain't got a pound sign

Thoughts welcome and thanks in advance

And a copy of windows?

Of the ones in stock, this is the cheapest decent looking one.

^or try and sqeeze your budget for a r9 fury nitro card, great value at the moment

Perfect Stulid. Thanks. I'll run it past my bro.

I may up a bit of money for the KB+Mouse but it's his first tbh. It'll be fine

Cheers!
