£500 Base System

[SoliD]

Hi guys, my parents are after a new system, they dont need anything too fabulous just something to do all their emails and stuff on, but my dad will be doing some photo editing and bits and bobs, I may also use it on occasion so wouldnt mind some half decent power to use.

Needs system + 19" WS monitor keyboard and mouse.

Thanks

SoliD

Something like this might do, there is potential for overclocking but that may not be important to you.

An extra £45 or so would get you the same with a Q6600.
