looking for a £400 first budget gaming build for a friend who wants to start pc gaming rather than sweaty Xbox 360.
I can build a computer but I don't know what parts to go looking that are quality for there price.


Approximate Purchase Date: for November of 2012

Budget Range: £350- £450 ($650)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: games like mine craft and half life but not bothered about playing on high settings as well as that just everyday stuff... web browsing but no over clocking and no video editing.

Parts Not Required: monitor, mouse and keyboard but a keyboard and monitor would be useful. but not required.

Preferred Website for Parts: ebuyer.com

Country: UK

Parts Preferences: whatever you think suits my needs

Overclocking: nope

SLI or Crossfire: negative

Additional Comments: I have chosen a basket but I'm sure as usual there will be someone who would love to criticize it in every way possible
