£450 budget on gaming PC. For my friends.

[SeeFights]

My lover/friend wants to get into PC gaming and only has £450 to spend, i would like some help picking and chosing some parts. It can be an entire build or just some tips. He wants to play games like G-Mod and MInecraft, he might play Fallout 4.

Do you have anything that you can use in that PC already?

That is not bad, what is the PSU? A 500W should be enough, but I don't know how good the unit is until I know what it is.

Get an intel i3 6100 which is significantly better in single core IPC (which matters in many games still).

No, you didn't even put a hard drive in it and it has a case power supply so it won't overclock well. Also the CPU will throttle the graphic card till god knows.

Yes, beacuse the graphic cards of every new console is still sh*t, which is probably comparable or WORSE around the GPU i have, which is the WORST geforce GPU, the Geforce G100. That thing has 8 CUDA cores.
