Ok, so I'm supposed to be saving up for my new gaming rig but am getting antsy and want something to build. I've been intending for a while now to build my mum a new computer and thought I might do it now.

Trying to keep it as cheap as possible, but also be able to play some games on it. This is what I came up with.

P.S I have a couple of optical drives kicking around somewhere, so I don't need one.

P.P.S If I don't reply it's because I've gone to bed.
 
Yeah mum does need a graphics card surprisingly enough, she likes to game a little. And wants to be able to play Torchlight 2 when it comes out.

Anyway I think I've settled on a build, pretty much everything you suggested Olivier so thanks. Except I added the card again and changed the psu. Oh and removed the ram because I remembered I've got like 8gb of G.Skill 1333mhz kicking around somewhere.

What do you reckon? Still tempted to go for a phenom x4 for the same price, but I think the performance is pretty much identical. Hopefully I'll be able to order this at the end of the week. :)
 
Yeah I was thinking i3, I'm more of an Intel fan anyway but the Llano seems to perform quite well. And like the other guys said if I got for the A8 I wont need to put a card in, at least not right away. So I think I'll sitck with AMD on this one, pretty much going for the exact (second) build you posted except with the other case.

Thanks everyone for all your help.
