Question Recommendations - Putting together a system for a friend: mostly for COD: Warzone

So, I imagine even putting together a middle-of the road system for this should be fine. Intent is to go with ultra-wide, 2560x1080.

It seems that Call of Duty and its expansions aren't terribly demanding, but I'm not quite clear on this. He doesn't need to hit insane frame rates, just gaming with his cousins, etc. Specifically COD: Warzone.

He also says he does some Canva on the side, and will be using some DJing equipment and music-related software. Not specified what they are, though.

BUT, while he's given me a budget, I've got some older parts that I want to know if they're up to the task. I figure if I can save him a chunk of change, that'll be nice.

Would the following be sufficient/more than sufficient for this these needs?
  • Ryzen 5 1600AF
  • RX 5600 OEM*
  • 16 GB RAM
That video card seems to perform about the same as, or a hair faster, than a GTX 1080, or roughly 10% slower than an RX 5600 XT.


Thoughts? Figuring on high settings, rather than ultra/max. Granted, if he does change and go for a 3440x1440 monitor, this GPU at the very least goes right out the window at that point.
