Hi Guys,

Title is pretty self explanatory, I'm looking to build a simple HT/Gaming PC for my girlfriend. Something that she can put Netflix, movies, music, etc. on and also be able to play some smaller games. Not looking to play everything on ultra at 120fps or anything like that, just something basic for her to play some simple games on through steam, etc. (smaller indie games, Sims, Minecraft, things along those lines.)

Budget is around ~$500 (Australian Dollars), any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

 
this is APU build, with very small case (unique)
4 cores + powerful Graphic
8GB ram
1tb HDD
