mum computer

[samuraimatt3000]

Hello everyone
New to the forum but not new to computers
In a nut shell im doing this post coz i want some advice before i begin the purchasing of a new computer (that i will be building)

As from the title you can tell its not for me, its for my mum

heres a quick profile of my mum
she likes music, shopping on the net, using word... and thats it :lol:
so in a nut shell its a simple computer (an office 1 if you will)
so if anyone has some good advice on something simple for mum (and maybe something extra for me to play games on) please say 8)

p.s cheap as possible if possible :exclaim

How about this one with a monitor?

i concur with JW. but if you want to play any decent games increase the budget to £400-£600

ok then i like the starter kit but is there something with a bit more bang for my buck? or would i be best looking at buying each piece instead of buying a pre done system??
