My friend is asking me to put together a new build for him and has set a budget of £650, all in.

He will need a case, a monitor (preferably a 22", perhaps the BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" @ £145) + Win 7 64 bit, but doesn't require a keyboard or mouse.

He will use it for general web browsing and gaming. Bascially, he would like the best gaming system within this budget.

I know it's a big ask, but what's possible?

Thanks.
 
Thanks a lot eddyc,

£650 including monitor.

BTW - you've included the upgrade version of Win 7.

No, he definately won't be overclocking.
 
Thanks CAT-THE-FIFTH. Very good.

I didn't think to mention that he will most likely want to add a couple of 1TB HDD's in the future and also would need a system that can smoothly play x264/1080p encoded video. For this reason the BenQ 21.5" may be better as it's higher res than the viewsonic.

I also might suggest a set up that's £50-£70 more and let him decide if he thinks it's worth the difference.

How about this, based on the above suggestions?
