Hello All,

I'm looking to throw together a desktop for my girlfriend out of some spare parts I have for light gaming, such as Minecraft, the Sims and that sort.
As I own about half of it already, I'm looking to finish it off. I'm mainly looking for a good value PSU that will run everything in it without exploding or catching fire, but without breaking the bank. Preferably around $60 AUD.

If there are any suggestions for the other parts I need or combos on the market, I would be happy to hear. :)

I have so far:

Pentium G2030 CPU Ivy Bridge
16GB DDR3 RAM
1155 gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H Motherboard

Any other advice for parts, such as an entry level GPU to match the Processor, HDD and maybe a case which falls into a combo would be great.

how much do you want to spend on the gpu? Id suggest a gtx 750/ti or amd r7 260/x. You dont need a high end psu, but a good reliable brand 400w+ unit would be good.
