Spec me a £400-500 pc..?

Haven't been keeping up and my mate asked for some help with a new PC after buying one from a well known PC selling shop only to have it break..

He'll be gaming/word processing etc on it, nothing arduous.

Anyone?

EDIT:
He just told me 400-500 total >.>
Thinking 2120? Is that still the route to go down for this budget?

Any parts he can scrap away from that PC he bought? PSU, HDD, RAM? was anything decent and worth keeping?

Afraid not - it's been returned for a full cash refund as it gave up the ghost after just a day.
