To run the latest Steam games with smooth frame rates at 1080p you're going to need to spend more than £600 on a complete setup

Either your customer needs to revise his expectations or his budget.
 
 
I know it's a rip off - customer's not in the know - the website which I can't mention I could tell is a rip off place. :p

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Cheers Lemin o/.
 
Really struggling on that budget, not sure how well this lot will play stuff but it'll probably be better than the original spec -

YOUR BASKET
1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 950 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (ZT-90601-10L) £128.99
1 x Intel Core i3-4350 3.60GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £114.95
1 x MSI Z97I AC Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £89.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 10 32/64-Bit - USB Pen Drive - Retail (KW9-00017) £85.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Red £64.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TPKD38G1600HC11DC01) £44.99
1 x SuperFlower FX 450W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - Black £42.95
1 x Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) HDD £36.95

Both builds haven't included a monitor or speakers - the OPs build does.

I stand by my original statement. Up the budget or lower expectations.
 
I wouldn't say it's impossible.
The above builds seem to have expensive motherboards for a small budget.

This build is by no means top of the range, but it fits within the budget and should play most non-demanding games with reasonable quality settings. The CPU can be overclocked to match i3 performance.
