    I know I wouldn't need much of a graphics card for what the machine is going to be used for but I've been given a 1GB Radeon Graphics card, so that can go in it.

    Edit:

    What I need is:

    Case (not too plain)
    Motherboard with RAID 5
    PSU around 500w with 5+ sata power connectors (possible raid5 setup in future)
    8 GBRAM
    120GB SSD

    Will fans come with the case?

    Have graphics card and DVD writer and 1tb sata hdd for storage.

    Budget 350 - 450 inc. delivery and anything else.
