I had intended on building a cheap but good quality PC for my parents since they break most of the laptops they get. I needed something capable of internet surfing, doing financial work and business work, storing large amounts of photos and videos, and watching movies with. I had a perfect build set-up for them until my brother decided he wanted to use the computer for gaming, along with his PS4, so now I need change direction here. I was hoping someone could modify the build I already had prepared and make that build suitable for the above written needs. Here was my original build:

My parents don't need anything fancy but my brother would like to play games like Bioshock 2, Black Ops 2, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and other Indie games on high/ultra settings with smooth framerates. I understand that that will drastically increase the price of the PC by adding a GPU, replacing the Pentium CPU with an i3 at least, and a PSU with higher wattage. Here is the modified version of the build I came up with:

The catch here is that the budget is $600 and that includes the PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. I did find a 21.5-Inch, 1920x1080p, 60 Hz, 5ms response time monitor for $99.99 which is good. I found the perfect keyboard and mouse bundle for $14.99 and some awesome speakers for $9.99. So the the price for all the peripherals will be $124.97 and I have to subtract that money from the $600 budget leaving me with $475.03 to spend on the actual PC. If need be I may be able to throw in some cash for the budget, $50 or so but not much more. Can anyone suggest the perfect build? I could certainly could use the help lol. Thanks for reading and sorry for the long message!
