Hello,

I have been contacted by a person who wishes to become a PC gamer like ourselves. I wish to help him on his amazing journey and kick start him with a machine that can run games at 60fps + at high-ultra settings. The person has said that they need the gaming PC and a monitor but they do not need a keyboard nor a mouse. They said that they should be able to do anywhere from $700 to $1000 but this may change in the future.

They would like to be able to play modded minecraft a RAM and CPU intensive game, battlefield graphically enhancing game, call of duty graphics probably along with other steam games. These games will need to be able to run with no problems what so ever at medium to ultra settings.

I have came here asking for your help as you guys are the experts and whilst I will carry out my own research elsewhere and come up with different rigs, I will still return here and take a look at everything you guys say.

If the budget can stay around the $850 mark then that would be better as that is halfway between $700 and $1000.

Please respond soon,

Yours truly, Luke
