Hey guys,

A friend on mine has a budget of between £500-£600 for a new gaming PC. He would like the best he can get for the money, and will need a monitor, mouse and keyboard included.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
 
Yes, I ddn't look very carefully, a 2GB card would make more sense.
H61 motherboards aren't the greatest as only SATA2, but I would go with a discrete GPU if it's for gaming , don't bother with a igpu.
Can upgrade to a non k i5 in the future too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, looks good.

Is Intel still the way to go? I have no clue about AMD nowadays.

If you had a tighter budget, Trinity would be the way forward, but you'll be better with Intel.

Could you mitigate £24?

I can't add the Logitech G300 mouse to the basket as it's OOS.
 
DONT buy the bgrade 7850, buy new its pennies more and you will get more warranty, why skimp on 20-30 quid and lose 2.9 years warranty? Really bad suggestion there!

For 600 quid u can also get a way better pc then that :\ its dated already!
