Hi guys,
Long-time, no see!
I've been asked to build a system for my brother-in-law, £800 budget (fairly strict) to be used for general every day tasks and some moderate gaming.
It's been a while since I've done a build so I thought it best to check! He needs everything except a keyboard and mouse.
Don't think he's got a huge amount of space in his room so I went with a smaller case (plus it looks awesome and I'm obsessed with the black/white theme
)

Better yet, go for a £9 TP-Link Wireless USB Adapter. That way you wouldn't need a bigger case.
Plus, his case he's provided doesn't have enough expansion slots for a Network Card, so if he stook with that case, he would probably need to make a decision as to whether to stick with a Graphics Card and a wired connection, or onboard graphics (which would be stupid as he wants to game too) and use the network card.
