Potential New Build

[Charcoal_]

Hey!

My brother asked me how much a cheap pc would cost to build. He's got a laptop that's on its way out and wants to do some light gaming. Can someone suggest a good ITX build around or below the £500 mark for 1080p gaming for games like spin tires and battlefield.

Thanks

Alright. Thanks. Only 500GB is needed he doesn't store much.

Perhaps getting an SSD would be a better option. If he could spare a few extra bucks he could get a 240GB SSD for around £60 and then add a hard drive later on if needed.
