Spec me a build for my parents :)

Reasson i ask for a spec is im only looking to spend about £300 only need the case and internals no monitor, keyboard or mouse or anything els just the case, motherboard, processor maybe a i5 or i7 ram, Graphics card hard drive i can probably pick 1 myself only need a normal hd not SSD.

Would prefer to stick with Nvidia to as its what i know no fan by things just id prefer something im familya with :).

It will only really be used for minor gaming probably old games they like abit and photos and mayeb ideo storage and editing.

I only ask or help as when i look all i want is the best stuff and im rubbish and picking a low spec pc lol
