The asrock ionn was the quietest pc I owned until I went down the iMac route & didn't look back.

This is a beater built from German site. http://www.hardwareversand.de/pcconfigurator.jsp?pcConfigurator.asid=1352050&pcConfigurator.gpOnly=0 and the price I got was £595.94. Win 10 included

And that was just a quick build, it could go cheaper, because on this configuration you can play almost every game on Full HD.

Should have gone for the GTX 950 in the list at 13 euros more as it's a more modern featured card (i.e. full dx12 support), faster and uses 80w less. I'd also have picked the i5-5675C (a stunning 65w CPU especially at their price - 195,99 euros) along with a Z97 board. The i5-5675C makes use of the iris pro 128mb ram as a level 4 cache. That's 100w shaved off the build and it comes out at 3 euros cheaper.

I agree :beer:, it was a quick build. But the point is that you can build a beater PC for much less money. Pre-build computers always cost more and have something that you don't want.
