[SOLVED] New gaming build for coworker, suggestions?

[smiths11]

So I am going to put together a new gaming system for my coworker, and was hoping you guys could throw out some suggestions. So before I get into what she is looking fo,r her price range is $800 to $1000, including peripherals. She would like to keep it $800 or under, but I understand that that may to be possible. Also she is not going to buy all the parts at once as she is in no big hurry for budget reasons, which makes me wonder if some of the expensive hardware should wait till black friday or cyber monday. The main reason I am on here is because I have no idea what amd parts to look at, and given the limited budget I assume that is what she will have to buy. She enjoys rpgs and mmorpgs, and mentioned the two games she is interested in at the moment are The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition, but is not a fan of fps games. In this case monitor won't have to be anything super fancy. I have a keyboard for her so that is covered. She likes story over graphics but does not want to be playing all of her games on low settings. She said she would like to play older games on high settings and new/newer games on medium, or high if possible. I hope this is not to tall of an order, because she doesn't make the best wages and I would hate for her to have to spend more than she needs to. Thanks for any help given!

Yeah it can be a good idea to wait until black friday if she is in no hurry.

Generally I'd recommend going Ryzen since it's very cheap right now.

Hellfire's build is quite good for the budget.
