Hi all,
A friend of mine at work is looking to buy a fairly budget, pre-built gaming PC for around £500 (may be able to stretch more). I'm trying to drag him away from some overpriced places and trying to get him to find a better deal at Overclockers, with higher spec for the money. Thought I'd post on here to see what type of a build he could go for. I was browsing around a bit too at the pre-built systems.
Doesn't need monitor (he will be hooking it up to his TV), keyboard or mouse. Looking at having an i5 and 8GB RAM.
Any build advise would be much appreciated, to try get as best as we can for around the £500 (ish) mark.
Edit:
Okay seems tricky to find anything in that region which is an i5, would have to stretch to £600-700 for pre-built.
