Need a spec - £500

[JeffBaines]

Hi guys,

Friend is looking to spend £500 on a PC that he can use for gaming. Perhaps can have his arm twisted for a little more provided I can explain the benefits. He's toying between a PC and a PS4 and would like to know how the £500 will compare to a PS4s power.

This is just for the PC itself (case/PSU/mobo/gpu/ram/cpu). Anybody able to start me off in the right direction?

Thanks.
