I'm not been funny but did you build the pc in your sig? If so I am sure your capable of building a pc for £150. How about you give a spec and then the felloship people of ocuk will advise you. That's the only way to learn.

Do you know what the spec of the computer is at the moment?
Need to know what ram it's got etc.
