Need to order a cheap desktop today, will only be used for word processing, emails and have till software on, so nothing too strenuous.
Needs to come with keyboard & mouse, already have a spare screen.
One i've been looking at...

Budget is about £250, ideally less.

That's without OS & keyboard/mouse though Gaz.
More than likely going with the ebuyer one, will see what Sam comes up with too, as he always knows whats on offer etc!

None of them come with an OS, by the time you add an OS to the cheapest one it comes to £253, and that has a less powerful processor than the one in the OP

Yeah I think realistically you'd need to spend about £250 for an 'OK' spec with genuine Windows installed.
BTW - if this person is starting on Monday, haven't you left it a bit late in the fucking day to sort their PC out
