Nice system for the money :), for what she needs to be able to do she doesnt really need a dual core, save even more money by getting a single core processor :cool:

PSU and case?

This offers everything bar the OS as C64 mentions, sometimes it is better to simply buy from a big systems integrator, the margins are so tight that they offer a good price. :)

This doesn't come with the OS so add on another £56 for vista basic if you need it. The asus barebones comes with motherboard with onboard vga and psu. :)

In the case of buying a budget PC for around £300 I would just go for the Dell. You will struggle to even come close building it yourself. The monitor with the Dell should be much better also.
 
Plus if anything goes wrong - the whole system is covered rather than leaving you to work out which component to return.

Cheap budget PCs it is hard to beat people like Dell if only because they will pay peanuts for the OS.
