Sorry to be a bother but I was wondering if anyone could help me build an average gaming/student desktop. I know 400-450 is low but it's all I'm able to spend. I'm not looking for too much just casual games like minecraft, dayz and cs (if possible). No monitor is needed. I'm new to PC building but want the challenge of making my own, I just need peoples help as I wouldn't be confident picking my own parts.

Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated

This should run the games you want to play very nicely.

Thank you very much Does anyone have any improvements/cheaper alternatives or agree that that's the best I can get for my money. If not, I'm seriously considering buying it

I'd get the XFX Core 450w instead of the 500B. Both are good, but the XFX unit should be a bit better. Splitting hairs.

I'd also spend a little more for dual channel and low-profile memory. Again, splitting hairs.

I'd definitely give it a thumbs up. If you wanted to save some mula you could go with the new Pentium K (Pentium G3258). It's around 30 GBP cheaper than the 4150. Not to mention it's overclockable as well.
