Spec me a gaming build for £1000

[Drizmod]

Can you please spec me a gaming build for £1000. I'm making this for a friend. He'll need everything except OS and speakers which he already has. Thinking of going Ryzen but willing to go Intel if its a good deal

thanks in advance

^ Thanks for those two builds i'll look further into them. Yes he'll be gaming at 1080p. I presume that 1060 would be good enough to maintain 60 fps in sims games like flight simulator and train simulator etc (he likes his sim games) and the occasional shooter like cod?

Would the Rx 580 be much better than the 1060? I'm liking that build

I think ill got with the rx580 build as his budget for a monitor is £250 so can get a nice freesync monitor

that memory price though wow...
