Extremely budget PC =< £300 without the screen...

[spoon_]

As per title.

What is the best PC I can get for around £300 mark, without the screen?

Looking for something for my cousin - he isn't really a hardcore gamer but won't mind odd gaming session a month.

Main use - uni student to do his work i.e. essays etc.

Recommendations?


Been looking at 3XS but the cheapest one is £380 all in which is over the budget.


Thanks,

Adrian

OS needed?

it's going to be a very tight build

No OS
No Keyboard
No Mouse

My cousin got these bits already so just case the case and its contents

I assume you are looking at a pre-built PC??

Here are a few Dell PCs for under £300:

And that's still missing HDD + Dvd + case
If you don't mind 2nd hand you can save a good chunk on the graphics card.

If I can I would prefer not do go the pre-build route.

I think £99 for GPU is overkill in my case.

Gonna get something second hand for ~£30 max.

Any recommendations on case/hdd/dvd ?
