Looking to put together a smallish pc for my mum and dad, what they want (what I think they need) will be listed below.

CPU = Looking likely to be AMD Trinity A10-5800k as will be doing mild gaming
Mobo = dependant on case format
RAM = 8GB will do!
GPU = Not really needed with that cpu
HDD = SSD 64/128GB (I will be supplying them with a spare 1tb drive)
Optical = Not required as will take from their old machine
Case = Help me choose!! All they said is must be black.
PSU = something suitable for the above.
KB/Mouse/Monitor/OS all not required.
Budget £500 excluding vat!

Not planning to overclock really as I they really wont be needing that much oomph!
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

You really want the fast RAM Idleman and myself have used. Not only is it a great price while on offer but the Trinity APU will thank you for it too over the 1600mhz kits

This setup for me personally is the one i'd choose, but will run all of them past the folks.
1 Question - How's the stock AMD cooler for noise? Budget does allow for a different one.
