Just wanted a quick check over on this system:
https://secure.scan.co.uk/aspnet/Shop/SavedBasket/Show.aspx?id=6727f8e0a8b143c3877af65ce0bc7e84

I'm building one for a friend, and this is what I've come up with, this being the absolute maximum of the budget.
The only thing I'm unsure about is (as usual) the PSU, with it being a cheapy one.

20GBP case and 500W PSU? It's going to be a cheap one. :| Start hoping it's a better cheap one. ><

For the rest it's decent. Maybe tell him that he should buy an 850w superious brand PSU for Christmas or something and to take it over to his next rig.

Like I say, this is my only worry.
I'm wondering if I could substitute the card for something a little cheaper to get a better PSU/case, but then can I really save that much as to get a decent PSU?

Think you could give me a hand finding substitutes? Preferrably on the same site to make it easier.

Salvage HDD and DVD. It's the only thing I can effectively recommend.
I thought I had written it's nearly impossible to go much cheaper. :|
