Gaming Build £2000

[ssmacc]

Hello All,

My Nephew is thinking of buying / building his first gaming PC, he's a budget of £2000 (without the monitor)

I'm out of the loop (still on a 5900x), he's looking at AMD Mboard and Nvidia GPU, but could be persuaded to go Intel and AMD.

What would you recommend?

Thanks,

I have a 13700k and it runs perfect. Never had a issue. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones
