£450 gaming machine

[Funny]

Looking to build a machine for a friend, no clue what parts to get, can anyone please help out? UK build.
Have mouse, keyboard monitor Speakers and a wifi pci card. Have a copy of windows 7 too.

Thanks in advance.

Is the Windows 7 64bit or 32bit? Also, what games does he plan on playing and what is the resolution/size of the monitor?

[Funny]

Just say 32 bit but if you are planning 4gb ram, put it in anyway..

His words: "Im not a hardcore pc gamer but a few games will be played on it yes other than that, watch some high def media i suppose, photoshop and maybe some engineering software in the future due to my course, so things like CAD etc..."

Not got resolution yet.

Can he spent a little bit more than 450£(pounds) or is that the absolute limit?

If your friend could spend a bit more he should get this RAM for £15 more:

And that PSU is only just enough so you may want to spend another £15 on this to give him a bit more headroom for upgrades:

I would recommend spending the extra money now if he can as it's only £30
