Posting in this forum due to 'If you need PC Support (Not related to Building)'
Budget: 250 GBP
Do you need a monitor - No.
Do you need a keyboard - No.
Do you need a mouse? - No.
Do you need an operating system - Yes, Windows 7 preferrably.
What will you use the PC for - Watching live streams/YT videos, playing some MMORPGs
Could someone link me a computer *already built* in this price region, I've found one on eBay but not sure if I'm getting my moneys worth.
THANKS!

You're not. You want a pre-built for £250 and you want to get your moneys worth, simply impossible. £250 is an extremely tight budget, and you wouldn't get anything great, even if you built yourself. A pre-built for £250 simply isn't worth it, unless it's solely being used for the internet, and even then, I'd just build a cheap rig.

Would kill it with fire.
To be blunt, can you up your budget. It will make it easier for us and you in the long run

Parts are From Scan

I'd advise going slightly over budget, if not then you could get a 500GB HDD and would make it nearer too 300. Don't cheap out on the PSU. Or you could always get an i3 to lower the price a bit.
Future upgrades I'd advise getting an SSD for fast booting and loading times and overall better performance.
edit: As for the Operating system have a word with Captain Hook and get it the free way
