Gaming PC Spec - £500?

jnmann · 18 Jul 2013 at 21:54

Looking to build a gaming PC for the kids. Don't need monitor, OS, KB or Mouse.

Intel preferred, 8Gb Memory Min. 2Gb Graphics. Ideally under £500.

Appreciate any input on this :-)

Sorry, I forgot to add, really want SSD in this build, 128Gb should do.
