Have you any components you can reuse. Sata hhd, dvd/rw,Psu, cooler or OS. If so, it will help get you a better rig.

Click on "My Computor", you will see your hdd and its size. What size is your monitor?

how about without the monitor? and a cpu cooler

Slighly over budget, but with an ssd. You can get a cpu cooler when you have a bit more money, say about £30+.
