One question, is the budget $800 - $1000 or £800 - £1000?

 

[Esieti]

800-1000 $ or 500-700 £ - if this may help 😉 - total cost of my proposal is around 700 £.

This is about the same price as your proposal and has better GPU performance. This will play most games at ~60FPS on ultra settings. I hope this helps! 😀

Thank you for your proposal but I would prefer to have less games fps and better performance for civil 3d .... If that makes sense.
