Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail
Abit IL9 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 Value Select PC2-5300C5 Dual Channel Kit (2x1GB)
OcUK GeForce 8500 GT 512MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 80GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (ST380815AS)
OcUK Huntkey 450W PSU

If you are considering overclocking then it might be worth going for a P35 based motherboard but other than that there isn't too much you could improve on given the budget. :)
 
Well its actually for my mums friends 10 year old kid so it will mainly be used for school work, a few games like The Sims nothing too harcore
 
Sounds good then. You might consider a 'board with onboard graphics to save a bit of money. The newer mATX 'boards with integrated nVidia or ATi graphics are surprisingly good.

EDIT: You could get away with a lesser PSU if you wanted. The Antec EarthWatts 380W is pretty good ans should be more efficient.
 
Ok Sounds good, So all of the components i have mentioned should all fit together well then without problems, just want to double check before i order.

Thanks :p

the most low budget spec ever:

Should be good enough for basic usage though.
