Hey there,
One on my friends has recently asked me if he can get a goodish gaming pc for under $700/£400.
This is without a monitor so it is just the tower.
He would like a graphics card that is good enough to run on high settings on games. He would also like an i5 if that's possible.
Thanks in advance...

There are some possible compatibility issues that PC Part Picker has found. Are these an issue or are they minor issues that won't affect the final build?
