Budget Build Spec me

[TheRealDeal]

My mate has a max budget of £500. No graphics card needed and would prefer to stay on intel.

Does he need a monitor, keyboard, OS etc? Not that I can do a spec, but that is a question that is normally asked.

Assuming he needs the tower + OS only

No he has all that. It's just the rig minus the Graphics card.

Without OS should be easier then

I'd suggest this then

He only has a Gtx650 atm but the machine it's in is not even worthy of that low end Card. It's by far the best thing he has in his system. This Spec looks pretty nice for the money.
