Hello lads,

I’m looking for a new build for my gf. She wants a Gaming-PC for 400 pounds maybe more. She enjoys playing Rimworld (fav game, lots of mods) which is particularly heavy on single-core (or single thread?). She would also love to be able to play heavier games smoothly whilst not having to play on potato settings. Ark Survival, Warframe, GTA V, Cities: Skylines, Rust, etc.
Peripherals aren’t needed. Only case and hardware.

Also, would it be better to get a pre-built one?
