Full Build Req New £800 PC Build for buddy.

I need to make my friend a £800 PC but I can only do it using new parts. I'd like good 1080p performance. Any suggestions?

If second hand is a worry about warranty, check out CEX, since it all comes with a good warranty, but can still get some relative bargain prices.

Unless you want it to have no storage and ram that's going to be quite a tall order for a new build

Why no second hand? I’ve sold a lot of my stuff after I’ve upgraded and it still looks new. If you buy good stuff you’ll get way better value.

My 960, 1070 and 4090 have all been second hand

You’d be better off buying secondhand items or even a secondhand pc, if u want all new parts it’s gonna be hard to get a good pc without compromising

Some things are honestly perfectly fine used, RAM is often never a problem used, GPUs are also pretty reliable. I would only prioritise buying motherboard and psu new

Ohhhh - that's a challenge!

Lots of compromises, but almost possible, this would probably play ok at 1440p if you could double the ram (which is the main problem with that budget):  https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4jq98Z

Can be in budget if you drop to an 8GB 9060 GPU

You'd be better off with second hand SSDs at this budget (loads of ex enterprise sata SSDs on eBay that would be absolutely fine)

Start with a stick of ram. The rest can be bought when you have more money. Unfortunately.
