New build spec!

Hi guys,

A colleague of mine is building a new pc with a budget of around £850. He needs literally everything including OS, monitor and peripherals except for keyboard (peripherals should include a gaming headset and a speaker system).

PC will be being used for data processing so a decent processor chip is priority. Also will be used for gaming (mostly league of legends), so also a half decent GPU is also required.

Thanks in advance gents!

This is what I'd go for with that budget. Monitor has speakers to provide basic audio for now. And then he could add a headset and proper speaker system later. Having to squeeze in the last two items means sacrificing elsewhere, imo. Or, spend a little extra right now to get a headset in.
