Sorry but that's an awful PC for the money..

A CIT power supply is a death wish.

Though its not a branded one the OCUK power supplies are better than the CIT ones..

Id go for this (with a 120GB SSD): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-270-OK&groupid=43&catid=2477

or this: (with 8GB RAM and 120GB SSD) (also comes with a GT620.

)

There basically selling you this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel 330 Series 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - Retail £113.99
1 x AMD Bulldozer FX-6 Six Core 6100 Black Edition 3.30Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x "Primo 510a" AMD 760G DDR3 Ready Barebones (Socket AM3+) £64.98
1 x Kingston HyperX Blu 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Single Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1/2G) £19.99
1 x OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total : £305.94 (includes shipping : FREE).

£30 charge for building it my ***, having said that though it is ~£125 they asking to build it and I assume warranty it for some time, so its not overly pricey, but not exactly a rocket ship. You could pro get a better system form OcUK.

Taking it a bit too far, its fine for that system, especially if its just for Internet browsing and office.

So can anyone spec me a build(AMD or Intel) for £450ish Budget?
Must have the ssd and would like 8G of ram, I will build it for him although he could probably put it together him self.

Anytime,

It may be worth phoning OCUK to check/request that the motherboard has the latest BIOS on it, it should do, but if it doesn't it will need updating to use that CPU.
