I5-2400 ITX Gaming build

[Denz13]

Hi all,
I'm looking at building a mini ITX (console sized) gaming PC for a family member.

They're currently using an old laptop off mine with dedicated graphics to play indie and 720p gaming.

I've recently picked up an i5-2400 CPU for free, what kind of gaming PC could I build him that'd allow 1080p gaming? Must fit in a mini ITX case and be between £400-600?

Thanks in advance!

You'll need to change your location to the UK, or appropriate country. Sorry.

Only board available in UK. Might look into EBAY for a better deal though/

Thanks for the responses so far, what about case, cooler, PSU and GPU options whilst considering the ITX form factor?
