Hi all,

I need to build a machine for a family member. They only need the tower and don't need an operating system. I don't really want to go over £300 but the best I can find at the moment is below.

It will only be used for a bit of light photo editing, word processing, internet browsing and burning cd's/dvd's.

Can anybody beat this??

Having a similar spec myself I would say go for this.
 
Thanks guys.

I think i'm gonna go for the AMD system that Kennysevenfold suggested. Will it be as fast as the E5200?

Oh and don't worry...i'll be staying away from the Hiper PSU's!!
