really stuck on what to do to be honest, i dont want to spend over £800 for everything.

i want a decent monitor atleast a 22"
i want a good wireless keyboard and mouse thats very nice to use.
and a small, silent computer that will last be a good few years.

An overclockable i5 will last longer than an i3 which would need replacing in a few years time.

If your not gaming then you don't need the i5, the i3 will perform simple duties and mild gaming happily.
