Basically I am looking to build an intel computer on a I know "really low budget" of £150-£200, this computer will be used for simple things such as Microsoft word, Browsing on the internet and also listening to music. That is it really. I have already gone out and bought an LED TV 22", keyboard and mouse so all i need is the "tower.
Please if anyone could help me tonight it would be much appreciated. :)
 
Your budget is low if you want to build something new, but if you're willing to go to around £300, you could go with something like this

Pentium G2120 (might need to go for a Celeron if you want to save cost) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...elceleronandpentiumdualcore/bx80637g2120.html
P8B75-M (could always go for a slightly cheaper board but this board is pretty good - I've used it for a few builds now) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...s/intel1155b75chipset/90-mibj20-g0eay0kz.html

8GB RAM (could always go for 4GB but I recommend 8GB these days because it's cheap) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...c3-12800/1600mhz/bls2cp4g3d1609ds1s00ceu.html
Corsair CX 430 Modular (non-modular is a tiny bit cheaper if you want to save a few quid) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/powersupplies/cp-9020058-uk.html

Fractal Design Core 1000 http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/cases/cases/7350041080565.html

SanDisk Extreme 128GB SSD (could go 64GB to save money if this PC is only for very basic use and not a lot will be installed on it, but I tend to recommend 128GB drives because again, they're cheap and offer enough storage for the OS and programs) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...nal/solidstate/upto120gb/sdssdx-120g-g25.html

That should be around £300ish give or take a little bit.

go with 4 gig since its a low end machine...doubt it needs 8 gig really. though it wont be able to run windows on that budget....as windows nearly costs as much...id recommend an apu at that price.
 
£150-200 is really too little cash to custom-build anything from the ground up that's going to be decent quality.
