This is for friend. He is is not keen on building himself.
He is intending to use the computer for work as well, therefore I was going to suggest getting a 2560X1440 monitor, as it is great for viewing documents side by side etc.
He wants a plain non-flashy case (I would imagine therefore no- cut out).
He mentioned total warhammer, I am not sure what other games he would be interested in. Spec me a card that will run Warhammer OK, if he gets more into gaming it is one of the easiest things to upgrade down the line.
(He said he would be happy with a second hand PC- but looking through mm it is mostly parts. I was thinking I would suggest buying new with all the warranties for his first PC, and upgrade with second hand parts in the future. IF you are aware on any secondhand full systems on mm that would be a good match then feel free to recommend them).
Include a keyboard + mouse as I think he has been using laptops and may not have them.
He mentioned a rough £1k budget. But I would imagine it could be streched, so spec according to Warhammer at 2560X1440 and work down from there.
Also please recommend me a 2560X1440 monitor - probably the cheapest alright one would suit, as I dont think he is going to notice the difference between panel types and refresh rates at this stage!
