Elden Ring is a jap RPG. But yeah, Civ and Total War games are a bit more demanding on the CPU. I'm not saying buy a cheapo i3, just that a midrange CPU is plenty for most games these days. He should spend more on the graphics card than the CPU.
I was just saying I'd skimp on cores and get the most single core performance. Although TW is doing better on that front.
