hay guys my friend has asked me to spec him an intel rig that he does not intend to use for gaming much - maybe light indie games maybe decent integrated graphics or low profile card - the budget is £475 - i know its not much and i'm having trouble

looking at Intel Ivy Bridge I5 3570K as minimum for the CPU capabilities

could you guys help me out, thanks in advance
 
I'd just go with AMD.

Unless he needs the CPU power of the 3570K, it would be worth lowering that requirement to improve the overall build if all it is for is to play indie games.

Similar build to Olivier except gone smaller and for the A10 5800K CPU. Case comes with a reasonable 300W PSU and the 1TB HDD is there for storage.

Fancy case (also PC-A04, Fractal Mini in the same category), SSD... Or no SSD, and a i5 SB. May find a IB... There's some Intel options that will fit.
