Hi,

I'm looking to build a desktop PC used for Office applications such as word and outlook and also web browsing. No games will be played on this machine, it will be purely for work.

Could someone do me a massive favour and spec me something for £300-400 please? I have a spare core 2 duo E6600 if maybe that could be implemented into the build if it saves money??

Cheers.

edit: forgot to mention, it's just the tower. No peripherals or OS.

Because its just for work, maybe an SSD would be good to install Windows and MS Office onto to speed things up?
