£550 build for friend

[William-Mathew]

Hi guys

My friend is going to get a gaming pc. His parents have given him a budget of £550. He wants the best performance for £550. No monitor is needed. He would like windowes 8.1. he already has a SSD.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

What a schoolboy error.

Not even going to edit that, too funny. I had the case still in my basket from a previous build
