My dad asked me to build him a £450 gaming rig with an OS included, I already have a disk burner, hd monitor and peripherals. I have a build, post here if you have anything better. Size/sound doesn't matter just give me something upgradable and reliable! Try to keep Scan as the only merchant.

The i3 is a cooler running CPU with less power consumption, better motherboard, better case, cheaper RAM.

Wouldn't a 550W PSU leave him even more room for upgrades?
