Budget Gaming PC [HELP]

Hey guys 'n' gals. 

 

Basically my friend is getting a gaming PC but has a budget of £450. Now I know you kind folk would love to help his cause by providing me with builds of around this price. He is starting from scratch so a full build is required. The main games he wants to play are as follows: CS: GO, H1Z1, Indie Games, GTA 5 etc.

 

If any steam machines match this requirement then they are also accepted.

 

I look forward to viewing your ideas.

 

Thanks :D

Would net him a much better platform, and a solid CPU to build around. If his budget is strictly 450 euros, then try this:

Motherboard: ASRock B85M-PRO3 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (£46.62 @ Scan.co.uk)

Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 380 2GB Double Dissipation Video Card  (£144.99 @ Ebuyer) 
Case: Xigmatek Recon ATX Mid Tower Case  (£22.78 @ CCL Computers) 
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply  (£37.99 @ Amazon UK)
