hi guys, had a friend play on my pc recently and he's hooked on it ! so he's wanting to build his own from scratch so no mouse, no keyboard or monitor etc, his budget is 1000 pounds (uk) and he is interested in both gaming / video editing.

havent been keeping up to date with he latest hardware, could anyone recommend a good (nvidia and intel) build including mouse monitor etc. i think 1080 p will be fine for him, and anything is really gonna look better than his ps4. i was considering a 4gb gtx 770 like mine as the higher vram has really paid off for me in the past.

look forward to your replies, thanks, Tom

It is still better to build your own computer as it would save you quite a bit of money MasFBailey.
