Help putting together a new pc build for £1200

[Lonely_Planet]

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded my own pc system and now I am helping a friend build their first gaming pc.

I was wondering if I could get any recommendations on a build - currently all peripherals will be need in the price as well, I feel there is no need to focus on too much on these though and create a higher spec pc build rather than spend £200 on a monitor.

I mean ryzen 5 3600 with a 450 mac MB seems a good starting point but any help is appreciated as I know everything is a bit all over the place atm.

that resolution is fine, as i sais it's their first pc so nothing super fancy needed. I can't imagine wifi will be needed but that's an easy enough addition to add in later. Appreciate your input
