Hi. My friend is looking for advice on a new pc build. I've put together one below which is largely based on what I have currently with a few changes. Would people mind giving me some advice on better components and value for money? I'm sure there's plenty of improvements that could be made but I wanted to at least attempt something before asking for everyone's advice?
He is looking to play all of the Total War franchise on ideally max settings without issues as well as other similar games.
His budget is £1,000 however this needs to include everything including monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers and operating system.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
I haven't listed a graphics card yet but I have a 3060ti so possibly a bit outdated for a new build now? I also feel like a lot of savings could be had here.
