I want to build a cheap PC for my grandma. She basically only plays patience and uses internet alot, I'm planning on spending only 250 euro's in total. I was thinking about:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A78M-HD2, € 58,90
Memory: Crucial 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit, € 44,99
Power supply: Corsair CX430, € 47,99

it totals: €246.78

Any suggestions?

You could even lower the price more if you want by going A8-7600 £64.45 instead of A10-7850K
and a slightly cheaper motherboard .
