Spec me a Build - £1000

[pigeonguyuk]

Hi All,

Friend looking to get back into PC gaming and move away from console. He's not 100% sure how much he wants to spend, but has stated £1000 as a maximum

Full system require. Base Unit/Keyboard/Mouse/1080p Monitor (24")

IF we go with 3 different budgets to give him flexibility. £600 / £800 / £1000

Preference would probably be Intel CPU / AMD GPU(more value for money)

£10 over, but could save slightly on a reference 480 to bring it into budget. Or drop the SSD. I also forgot to add a cooler.
