How much should I spend on a Gaming PC?

I was thinking of around the £500 mark. I'm not a graphic fanatic, and I would mostly play games such as Minecraft, Skyrim and Source games. As I have already stated that graphics aren't a major selling point to me, so playing Crisis 3 and Battlefield 4 and making them out as well a making them look nice and perform their best i not a major priority.

So basically for £500 I think that I could get a competent PC to play a variety of not so highly demanding games. Am I right?

I'm already equipped with a mouse, keyboard etc.

I would go in between the 500-600$ range. I believe that's about 400-500 euros. You'll be able to get/build a PC that will allow you to play almost any game.

It is not that easy. You first have to find a PC that will play the game(s) you want. Not every PC has the resources to run a decent game.
Example for "Skyrim" you need a machine that at least has the following hardware, anything less will make for a poor gaming experience:
