Hi guys, I'm building a new computer as my current computer's graphics card has died and it seems like a sign that I should upgrade. I've wanted to upgrade for a while anyway...

My budget is between £600 and £700
I already have a full HD monitor, mouse and keyboard (May replace the keyboard as it's getting a bit old) I also have a DVD drive so these are not included in my budget.

The system will be mainly used for watching films, browsing the internet, some amateur video editing and light gaming for example Command & conquer and when it's released Star wars The Old Republic.

One thing I would like to incorporate into the system is a SSD of 60-80GB as that's all I'd need.

Any and all help would be awesome, thanks in advance. :)
 
Wow cheers for such a fast reply.

My brother actually has a MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850 Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card that won't work in his system (Due to the power supply) So I said I'd give him £60 for it and use the money I'm saving from buying a new one and perhaps get a better case?

I do need a operating system but as I'm at college I can get Windows 7 for about £40 but I'm not bothered about this being in my budget.
 
I need to buy the computer ASAP as I need it for college work. I was going to install windows on the SSD for a quick start up. If I buy the SSD later would I be able to more the OS onto the SSD without having to uninstal it all?
 
All my files are on my old hard drive at the moment anyway.

Would I be right in thinking I'd just have to un-install windows and re-install it on the SSD drive when I get it?
 
Awesome, I'll have to do some banking and hopefully should have my new computer by the end of the week :)

I'll make sure to get a nice cheap SSD when the new ones come out.
