Hi guys I need your advice I need to build a computer for light gaming (just lego game at 1080p 30fps) for my sister who is 9. My budget is quiet small as only £300 and I need cpu + mobo + power supply+ ram. The gpu I will be purchasing i January most likely gtx 950 or maybe something from team red.

I had a little look and hopefully this should suffice.
I have also included a GPU, do you need a case?

This is where my money would go. Decent iGPU which will play games happily at medium settings until you can afford a proper GPU. Newest architecure too.

Shame about the Ram not fitting though

Bugger off
. DDR3 Skylake board..didn't even think to check 
Yes, OP - I'd personally get a board that will take DDR4 RAM as buying one that only takes DDR3 when you have DDR4 would be stupid....ahem...
