Much easier to buy a 2nd hand PC surely? Even at £10-15 per 2nd hand part you may be pushing your luck at £100 for a full build.

That's the best I could do with all new parts. It will be awful and almost certainly burn down your house mere minutes after turning on though.

This would be my suggestion, it's a little more powerful than the above for a little bit more money.
