HI everyone

I have fell a little behind in the developments so am a little unsure which items i should be looking to get

Basically wanting everything for inside the box apart from the case, im thinking the case i have would be good enough (unless u disagree :) )
Current case is a Coolermaster Centurion RC-534 Black
Thinking im looking at Board, CPU, PSU, RAM, GFX, SSD and a dvd writer

I have 5 TB on hard drives so not looking to upgrade them atm.
Also got win 7 disk so can just uninstall and put on new pc

Any help would be awesome as im at a loss been reading some pc magazines i picked up but they weren't that good

Is my budget realistic, I'm not a gamer got ps3/xbox for that. Pc is basically used for watching movies, surfing and some DTP.
Games on pc i do play tend to be management games

The current PC i have lasted me 4 years and the spec i went with back then was:

650W TX Corsair PSU, single 12V rai 1 £55.99
Abit IP-35 Pro, iP35 Express, S 775 1 £74.99
