So, As the title clearly says I need parts for a PC that will cost £500 at the MAXIMUM. I will be using this for all kinds of things. Surfing the web, Recording Videos (For YouTube), Editing those videos (Sony Vegas Pro 13) and watching YouTube videos. So basicly I need to be able to run some typical horror games (Amnesia, Erie, Kraven Manor for example) and things like Minecraft at quite a high FPS while recording. And before you provide me with US links, I live in the UK! So give me a UK link because I can't buy stuff with pounds if the price is in dollars!
 
Solution
Sony Vegas can take advantage of GPU, especially AMD GPU's, so I changed to an i3, to keep the GPU.

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or OS within this budget?
