Far Far Away!
Afternoon...

My brother would like a PC. He doesn't have much room therefor he would like a Mini ITX but kept cool. I suggested a laptop but no to that too as he might want to change a component in the future... His budget is up to £500/550 could maybe go to 600.

Starting from scratch could anyone recommend some stuff for a build?

He quite likes the look of this case Lian Li, I said maybe the Bit Fenix Prodigy but he likes the Lian Li.
or the Silverstone Sugo SG05 case.

So we'd need:

Possible Case if there is something more suitable for cooling but not the Bit Fenix..
CPU & CPU Cooler
PSU
HDD or SSD
Graphics Card
DVD Drive
Motherboard
RAM

- Already have a monitor which runs at 1920x1080p.
- Wont need to be overclocked but the option would be nice.

I think that's it.

It'll be used for gaming such as bf3 medium settings for example and general use.. Genuine answers please, thanks in advance

ah yes the CPU cooler looks the better option, I think the case you linked is the slightly smaller design? Lian Li PC-Q18B is the one we've been looking at but will obviously increase budget...
 
Just popping out now, will be back soon to check suggestions.. please don't hesitate to change any ideas you may have.. He'd like the best possible spec for £500/£600.
Thanks guys
 
Could he stick with an i3 or are they kinda out of date now.. would it run bf3 and modern games ok? Not hardcore gaming, but nice enough...

Thanks
