Right lets start again.I want to do a computer for my grandson budget upto
£200.I want to use this case (Compaq-Presario RR505AA-ABU SR2125UK)
need to know what size decent motherboard with processor will fit also what
graphics card,ram,hard drive and maybe power supply.Thanks again. :)
 
Honestly, chances are you will NOT be able to use that case. I tried it once, using a case from a prebuilt, and I literally and to cut and drill the other stuff out. It was bad.

Unless you plan on pirating or have an OS, you an forget it right now, because the OS costs $100.

You can get a case for $30ish (when I say $ i mean euro). Mobo, $40ish, CPU $50ish, RAM $50ish. PSU $30ish. Hard drive $40. Optical $20. Thats $260 (euro). To make the system at all decent, at least $300. Thats with out an OS. Sorry, but $200 wont work..and using that case, you will be lucky if you can use it.
 
No problem.

Do you already have an operating system you will be using or do you have to purchase one?
 
what do you think of this build russ, if its for your young grandson you dont need an overly powerful machine it would just be a waste, just a nice quick running machine that will do what you need it to.

within your budget a totally brand new system, enough power for a child that age, but not overkill thats a waste.

you have an attractive looking case, 2gb of quality ddr3 memory, decent sata psu, decent graphics card, and a huge 1000gb hard drive, that will hold as much music, dvds or whatever you want to put on it.
 
With what you have put looks good to me,would it be strong enough to play
Black Ops,Moh as thats what he wants to play.
