"The monitor has to display 4k at 60 megahertz per second so far the Samsung Ultra HD is the only one I could find for under 600"

This is a build for a friend, not my type of specs id want but its not mine aha, he simply just wants a pc that will run no problems, that can handle a lot of shit.

If you can put anything together thank you in advance!

I hope the 1200 doesn't include monitor cuz if so that's a no go

Tell your friend that isn't going to happen for that budget.

Have him look at that link. There likely is zero reason he needs 8.1 Pro.

No CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Case, or Power Supply and you're already above $1200. If you want to run 4k at 60 Hz, you can't really drop a graphics card.

Nice ur right double GPUs needed

Lets ignore the budget and just see how much it costs??

Well that's a crappy monitor to begin with....your looking at $2500 to even attempt 4K gaming.


/e MINIMUM ^^

Your friends gonna spend like 3.5k lol no games are really programmed for full 4k anyways seems like a waste

Bare minimum and its at $1900. Even with an R9 295x2, you're only looking at getting ~45 FPS in UHD resolutions. You can save $40 by going with 8GB of RAM since I have no idea how much RAM Go Pro Studio even uses and don't care to look it up.
The case is kind of bad, not terrible, but not great. I picked it because it had an external 3.5" bay for the flash reader. You can eliminate this by getting an external USB card reader.

Ideally,

If you want a good experience gaming at 4k. Thats nearly $2900 and still doesn't even have an SSD (lol).

4k Gaming is just a waste at the moment. There really isn't any reason to have 4k anything at the moment since it is still so new and there aren't that many early adopters. Sure, its great for professional level photo and video producing and editing, but its a long way off from being really viable in gaming. Stick to 1440p or lower and save $1000 or more.
