have you any components you can use
Can you qualify for win 7 as a student to save money
Have a look at
Asus e35m1-I deluxe £120
Memory £40
Psu £40
Hdd 2tb £50
Case Silverstone ml03 £60
Win7 £40 student offer
Do you need kb and mouse
There is a cheaper coolermaster case etc but may help as a starting point
Do you need a DVD or bluray drive

There's a cheaper version of the Asus mobo that is matx
Could prob save a bit on memory etc
Case is a cooler master 100 iirc.
On phone at the moment so will try and price some options later
