Hey for some help building my niece a cheap gaming computers as she is starting to get older now and shes very interested in playing games on the pc.

Im sure i could do this my self but i know some of you peeps are alot more savvy and know where to find some great deals :P

Games ( games dont need to be played on max settings just need them to run smooth)

Sims 4
Minecraft with some mods ( lucky block etc )

Stuff we already have

Mouse
Keyboard
Monitor
OS
DVD drive

What she needs

Case
HDD
RAM
GFX Card (or intergrated)
Motherboard + proccessor
Powersupply


trying to build something under 200 I have spare parts laying around I could possibly use I just have to check what I have.
