Most of the parts are already pretty entry-level, about the only thing you could get cheaper is the case.

Will save you £13

Neither of those will hurt anything and get you under £400 a fair bit

Don't be fooled by the picture that the seller has used for the RAM. It has a black Anodized shroud over the modules. Plus, the case will do the job just as good and the PSU is of higher quality.

Supahos :

This, you have many entry-level parts so you can't cut costs that much.
