Realistically you will either need to build your own PC or spend more cash. No main stream PC vendor will sell a PC to suit this properly cheaply. They aroe too tight.
TBH buy a console and leave the PC for everything else. That way you will get the graphics on offer without either good PC setup or a deep pocket.
Without a monitor, keyboard or mouse - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-180-OK&groupid=43&catid=1445&subcat= £499.00 inc OS will run it all easily. Not a lot of fat to trim off that either.
The system that I linked to in post #2 covers it, but what about the monitor?0 -
Sorry Donnie, I am sure my brain needs a link to notice linksThe system that I linked to in post #2 covers it, but what about the monitor?
It does cover what the OP wants for games but it really is the bottom of the barrel graphics capability wise. Why can't manufacturers just charge an extra £30-£40 and fit a semi decent GPU like a Radeon 4650/70 they are sub £60 easy now. 4800 series are under £80 as well.New PV club member. 3.99kW system.

Just trying to keep to budget. The OP seems unable to reply to questions about a monitor. Makes me wonder if they've thought about it at all.0 -
Hi Oneday77, thank you for your information. I like your link; however, I would try to find something within my budget, which includes the monitor as well.
Cheers,0
