Gaming PC required

[mds1256]

Hi all

A neighbour has caught me and asked what spec computer they should get for their son who wants to play the following (not limited to):

Arma 3
Battlefield 3
Battlefield Hardline
DayZ

Can anyone recommend me a spec of desktop pc that will play these.

Build needs to be up to £800?

Thanks for your time

Does he need everything (os, monitor, keyboard etc)

Tower only? Windows required?

Sorry should have said.

Yeah windows needs to be included, 7 or 8.

He would like a new monitor only if funds allow it depending on build.

Cheap keyboard and mouse will do.

Hi stulid

Thanks for that, it looks great, GFX card looks good too.

To give a couple of options what would be a slightly better GFX card to use, just so I can let them know if they wanted to upgrade the GFX it would be £xx.xx.

Thanks for your help with this
