Question need help for my friend who wants 4k 60hz.

[HerEyeSin]

i recently built my pc with money saved and was my first time playing on pc. my friend now wants to buy a pc but he wants a premade one. can someone give me some options for him from best buy https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pc-gaming/gaming-desktops/pcmcat287600050002.c?id=pcmcat287600050002. his limit was 1000$ but from what i see, i think he has to spend more. he already has a 4k monitor because he has on xbox x.

If he wants 4K 60Hz that is NOT going to happen, at least with high/max details, for the money he's looking at spending.

To do that would require a 2080Ti graphics card, and that by itself is $1200.

Tell him the pre builts are overpriced and cut corners on important parts such as the motherboard & PSU and even for the same price he'll get a much better system.

Anyways, anything decent to play on 4K/60hz (min 1070S) it's going to cost at least $1800 if he went prebuilt.

Or if you convinced him to have you help him then this would be what your looking for and much cheaper & better quality then any BB prebuilt. Ultra/Max settings depends on the game

Even 1080P games look stunning, based on my own BF1 experience, anyway....

Those on a 'budget' should perhaps not really think about 4k...at all.

$1,000 would give him a goold 1080P/1440P or (with some graphic tweaks) a 3440x1440P system.

Agreed, I'm still playing at 1080P (kind of, 2560x1080P/75hz) and it looks great. Even with lower end hardware if you pair it with a good VA/IPS monitor the games will look fantastic. A friend of mine has a low end system that she plays WoW on (G4560/RX 570) and the game looks great due to the 27" 1080P/IPS/Freesync>>(To help with the raid/city dips) and that system is still going strong.
