Good day,
I am not at all new to PC gaming, however, I wasn't entirely sure if I should post this in the General Hardware section. Please move if I am mistaken.
Basically, my brothers have been wanting a decent computer for a long time now. Unfortunately, they only have small amounts of pocket money, however, I want to make them something that will play most games on medium/high settings.
I need hardware advice for the project that I am starting.
Project: Toaster
Ignoring the ridiculous name that I have come up with, the reason behind it is to make the cheapest, smallest and most reliable gaming computer that is possible. Like a toaster, without the gaming part.
The advice I am looking for is:

The advice I am looking for is:
- What is the cheapest, best-looking ITX case? Preferably with a side window.
- Should I go for AMD or go for an Intel I5? I don't know very much about the AMD series.
- I don't know much about ITX motherboards. Any differences from standard ATX?
- 1050TI or 1060 6GB? Which would be better for the computer that I am trying to build?
- Any more tips that you would like to suggest? Or even ideas?
