Hey there,

My sisters Graphics card died. Her PC is very old (We had a choice of powering graphics card or CD Drive) it was upgraded last year with a second hand BFG GeForce 7900 GS OC.

Rather then struggle to upgrade it we've opted to replace it.

TLDR;

Need a complete tower for less then £500 including VAT. Parts need to be in stock as I will be ordering tomorrow Wednesday for next day delivery (Thursday)

DO NOT NEED: OS, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and Speakers.

OS will be W7 Ultimate.

Hopefully someone can give me advice before long so I can reach our deadline.

Thanks,
Jamie

That's right. It's a budget build with compromises made. Whether the OP considers them viable compromises is another thing. I'm offering a build that will work, will play the odd game and is cheap. I'm offering an alternative to the builds already posted.

I was going to get this one, but the prices have changed overnight to be about £30 more. Do I need this fan as the suggestion below has the Same cpu without the extra fan / heat sink.
