Gaming pc

[SF-49]

Hey, I'm thinking of buying my parents a reasonably priced gaming tower as theirs is, well lets just say out of date.
I know it won't need to be a high powered one as the most demanding game he'll play is Atomfall. I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on which ones to buy.

Thanks a lot for any help.

The monitor I dont know about as its going to be a surprise gift for my parents and I'm not sure what they use

The main use of the tower will be mainly for gaming.

Price range will be anything upto, I'd say up to about £900 mark, if need be I could possibly push to a thousand.

The monitor dictates the GPU required so you really need to know that, but even then, you won't be able to get a custom PC anywhere near that price I'm afraid, you'd be looking at second hand, you may get lucky and find a new old stock model somewhere like Amazon, but not a chance on a custom PC that's worthwhile.

Ok BlessedSquirrel, thanks for the reply and advice.
I'll have to talk to them then about it, was so hoping for it to be a surprise.
Nevermind.

For reference, this is the very minimum I would go for a decent, modern entry-level 1080p gaming setup.
