    mindfactory, alternate, computeruniverse or amazon, we tend to avoid hwvs now.

    Use skinflint.co.uk with german stores on to get a few bob off

    You could drop that SSD to a 128GB to shave off €45, and put that into a monitor and peripherals. Obviously, the Skylake iGPU is quite bad, so I'd advise them to play at 720p.
    The Cooler Master Devastator Keyboard and Mouse bundle is about €50, and a cheap 1080p monitor from ACER will only cost about €115.
    Windows...well with all the revoked key issues on Reddit right now, I would only recommend the legit USB drive. Don't get Discs because they break and require a DVD player. That's about €110.
    So DS's build: €420
    Keyboard and Mouse: €50
    Monitor: €115
    Windows Key: €110
    Total: €695
