Hello my Mate wants his first Gaming machine he is willing to spend around $1200 (Give or take) I found it hard picking the cheapest place for hardware as I live in England but I think Newegg looks pretty decent.
Here is the machine I custom picked out for him I personally think I did a good job but I always like to double check.
He is playing on a Laptop so this will be a massive step up.
He mostly plays War Thunder but will play other games of course.
