    So, a mate wants a mini-ITX build, but for only €650, and he wants it in the Sharkoon Shark Zone PC Case. Also, he needs WiFi. So, he sent me this link. I'm going to see can I pop in a half-decent graphics card for roughly the same price.

    So, I'm going to grab a build from the €600 Budget PC thread.

    And try to re-edit it to an ITX build, LoL. Using Amazon as I have Prime, but acknowledge that even with shipping, it could be cheaper elsewhere.

    Alternatively:
    Drop CPU to Athlon 200GE. Can even remove the GPU.
    Football Manager isn't hard to run.

    The PSU is out of stock, so I found a £50 Corsair CV450 from CCL. It's a Tier C PSU, so I think it should be fine for what he'll use it for.

    Total is about £561, so just about below the budget. I admit that FM2020 doesn't need much to run, but intend that this lasts a bit before he'd need to upgrade.
