Hi all,

With christmas coming up my sister has decided to get my niece a new PC.She's got a budget of around £450 for everything so I said I'd help out.I have a spare 250 gig sata hd and can get a hold of a 5770 for £30.Main uses for the PC will be school work,browsing,music and some gaming (Sims and stuff).So I'll need

Operating system
Mobo
PSU
CPU
Ram
Monitor(Pref 20-22")
Kb mouse
Speakers

I was looking a getting a small neat case cause space is an issue and was looking at the Sugo SG06B-

I also have a spare CPU knocking about (E2140) but it's an old socket 775.Would it be worth using this or would starting from scratch be the best option?.

It's asking a lot and sorry if it doesn't make much sense i'm half asleep still (Skyrim :) ) and I've done it off my phone thanks in advance
 
Thanks for that it's a great help.Like you say it's probably best to go with a newer socket.I'll have a look at that case cheers,if I did go for the Sugo would the PSU that comes with be fine to run that set up?
 
Yeah cheers that's not great,had a look at the fractal case and it looks alright so I think i'll go for that,the Sugo is just a bit too pricey for what she needs.That MSI board you recommended is out of stock at the minute so not sure to go for a different one or ask when they've got some coming in
