Budget Gaming Build

[alex2k10]

Hi everyone,

A friend is looking to build himself a new gaming pc he has about £550 and windows.

He is new to the world of pc gaming and currently has a 24" samsung monitor so he will want to game at 1080p.

I have been out the game for a while so no idea what hardware is best so any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Does he require mouse and kb? Does he have a current pc that has any parts that can be salvaged?

Sorry should have mentioned that he has mouse and keyboard which i have given him but no old pc to salvage he has a laptop at the moment.
