Hi, i'm looking for some help on what Motherboard, CPU, PSU etc i should use in my first build and how much i should spend on parts. It dose not need to be very powerful as i will only use it for browsing the internet. I'm building it as i want to practice building a low end pc before i build the high end pc i want for gaming. it needs to be inexpensive around £140 or $180 if you are in US. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

he can exchange with a cheaper hdd and get a cheap video card, but the cpu already has on board graphics so i tossed the ssd in there

it looks good, but i recommend getting a usb 3.0 to 2.0 adapter for the front panel headers. just realized this by looking at the parts list as the case has front panel usb 3 but the mobo only has usb 2 headers.
