Hello everybody (Hello Stulid :p)

Trying to put a spec together for my sister and partner, the budget is £300 but this only needs to cover motherboard, cpu, ram and psu. Part of it also is trying to spec a pc that wont need upgrading for as long as possible. Everything else they already have. The case they have limits them to a micro atx board though. PC will only be used for general internet / office work, a very little photoshop work (removing red eye, cropping etc nothing too strenious) watching dvds/blu rays. It wont be used for any gaming at the moment.

Spec so far I have
Intel Core i5-2400 3.10GHz
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750W V2
Gigabyte H61M-S2V Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel

Total: £321.35

Logic behind my thinking is
-i5 should cope with everything for years
-Onboard graphics enough to what they want now
-PSU over powered at the moment but enough that a good spec gpu can be added later

So as I am already £21.35 over budget can anyone improve the spec?

Thank you in advance, Greboth.
 
a 750 is still overkill even for adding a decent gpu, a 550 (look at the Antec Truepower) will be more than enough still (barring 590/6990 cards), and bring you in on budget
The rest looks good
