hi a friend has asked me to spec him a PC for gaming. his budget is only £330, so i am having a bit of trouble working it out :), hes not looking to max out games or anything like that but he would like to at least play in 720p. on some modern games, if possible. all he needs is a base unit
 
its just the case, no need for mouses, monitors or keyboards or windows. and yes i know its EXTREMELY tight, thats why im having issues, im great at high end pc like everyone but budget pc are hard

A little over budget, but as you can see i have used a few "B" grade items. You need to check with OCUK as to what accessories are missing with the motherboard. But it is a Z77 mobo, so he could upgrade the Cpu when funds allow.
