Hi.
I'm building a system for a friend of mine. He wants to play MS FlightSim and i'm trying to make him play iRacing as well. I would imagine we'll end up with an ultrawide 1440p rather than 4k monitor. But it might start out with a 27" 1080p. He wants a system like mine but the budget is slightly restricted.
He's looking to spend around £1200, i've just bought the CPU so that's set in stone.
This is what I'm looking at. Should I goto AMD for graphics? I realise price is higher but I'm going to get him to up his budget. I dont want to spec something just below good enough in order to save £100/200.
Thank you.
