So, I'm in the process of making my gf's mum not buy a HP Touchsmart PC for around £1000...

Instead I said I'd build her something from scratch from Overclockers

It needs everything. Preferably a wireless keyboard and mouse. She doesn't play many games so don't need a beast graphics card.

Wasn't sure on how much to spend, so thought I'd ask for ideas

R088ieS86: She'll be playing indie type games or games like Portal.

Lelouch: That monitor actually looks quite good, I shall take a look at some videos of it in action! She's currently stuck with a crappy little 15" CRT monitor, so I think a good monitor will be nice.

lclcr: She doesn't like using OS X

*edit*
just had a look at the touchsmart offerings. WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!
£1000 for an i3 550 and onboard graphics

I know right. I'm taking this as a chance to build a PC!

I just don't want her with a super powerful PC, which she wont even use 50% of. Something with lots of utility and not necessarily power, if you know what I mean.

Reapers top spec looks like a winner +/- a few adjustments! thanks
