I'm not quite sure what parts to advise him to get or if it is even worth building with the ps4 and xbox one near that price range. This is what i have so far http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/26HAi

Shootingbut :

That's a good build, but you should change to a Gigabyte or ASUS motherboard, as they cost the same but offer slightly better components and in some cases slightly better performance.

You do know that you're restricting motherboard choice because of the MicroATX Case, right? Also you may need to keep in mind that you might have to factor in a copy of windows into the price. Anyway, looks like it will perform well to me.

i just made a new build with the new apu's, he needs a keyboard, mouse and monitor too but doesn't want to spend much money, he said he wants it for £60. i know that's unrealistic but can we try and get as close as we can
