1.9k gaming build

[Tommyzz]

Hey,

I have a friend who wants to build his own PC but I'm not up to date with the latest specs to help him.

He has a budget of 1.9k, focussed on gaming.
Doesn't require a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

I would really appreciate some help!

Cheers

Tom

Cheers! I will get him to wait until then!

He wanted to play all the latest games, 1440p

the new tech is going to be expensive but with is budget, it might work.

If he didn't want to spend $290 on an AM5 motherboard and just wanted a good gaming rig that can do 1440P and 4K in some games, this is a good start
