Here's my build I would suggest.
Case: Fractal core 1000 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (31 GBP)
CPU: Intel pentium G860 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (45 GBP)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (31 GBP) This motherboard is on SALE right now, so i'm guessing you'll be ordering soon
RAM: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (23 GBP)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] This is a bit overkill for your build, but I couldn't even find a half decent 350w/400w PSU (I never use scan, the website's a bit confusing for me, gotta get used to it lol)
Hard Drive: Since you won't be doing a lot of gaming or anything like that, i'm not going to suggest a 1TB hard drive, i was going to suggest 320 or 250 GB but I couldn't find one on scan? So here's a 500GB one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

It's a LITTLE bit over budget (205 pounds)
Some of those things you can downgrade on (Before you build it of course)

Unless he is installing his OS off an USB then he will need a disc drive, these can be bought for a small amount. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If OP has an old desktop that he doesn't use, he can steal the ODD from that. (that's what I did )
