Son's Gaming Build

[alphacenturion]

Hi people,

My son is building his first PC for gaming.

He plays the following games:

- Fornite
- Rainbow Six Siege
- Call of Duty
- Minecraft
- GTA (6 when it comes out)
- Variety of Steam games

He has approximately £2300 on the build (without monitor).

Hes been told to get an Asus card.

We would also be interested in any monitor suggestions that would go well with this setup.

Really appreciate some help!

Guys, thanks so much for these responses, definitely some food for thought.

Based on all the feedback it sounds like he is massively overspending to get the fanboy stuff.

I spoke with him and with his fps games he's wants to win rather than it need to look unbelievable but then there is a balance to be had with some of his other games where he wants it to look as good as possible. Would you still suggest 1480p is enough for this?

The above recommendation by Tetras looks great and will save a lot of cash but if he waits for the new cards does he get a new card with the same build or just buy the rtx7800 at a cheaper price?

Thanks so much for all your input all!
