My friend's building a PC, here are the specs i thought up for him, budget is around £480, and this needs to include everything apart from OS

It will mainly be used for web design and development, running Macromedia stuff etc. and probly some multi tasking, and light gaming, so no great graphics card is required, all the games he uses cna be played sufficiently on laptop with integrated graphics, so i thought Pentium would be best, but i aint to saure about the specs of pentiums, so here is what i thought up, please leave ur comments!!!

All prices without VAT

Maxtor Diamondmax 10 160 gig HArd drive - £41
Crucial 1 gig DDR ram - £41
Casecom ATX Case with psu - £16
