£500 spec with monitor

[Kemik]

Hello,

Can you spec a £500 system with a monitor for my dad please? No fancy cases required, just one that's easy to build.

He mainly uses it for photography and general internet browsing.

Thanks.

Integrated graphics are the thing to get for this rig.

Billy's spec has a much nicer monitor, get his ^^^

 

[Kemik]

Thanks guys. Some notes in case it affects: a 20" monitor is fine and he only needs a 160 to 300 GB HDD.

Billys is winning so far

Can you spec a £500 system with a monitor for my dad please?

Does he also need peripherals (keyboard, etc) & OS?

Edit...

 

[Kemik]

Keyboard and mouse isn't worth enough to bother adding. I'm sure we have spares around here somewhere.

OS doesn't matter either as I have a Vista license he can use (I'm still on XP SP2).
