Since I am currently on ebuyer shopping, here are a few ideas

 

 

I reckon this i3 model is the sweet spot for £200

or i5 £269

if you want to spend very little celeron model for £99

also

 

if you want some GPU power there is an AMD APU one for £169 - could be used for low end games/emulators
