Can you help me spec a build for everyday use?

Hey OCers

I came across this site & forum after researching etc and it's great, but I'm still confused on what's best for me so I'm hoping somebody can help me.

I'm not much of a gamer, I play a couple of games every now and again, nothing hardcore but i'd like a build that's easily upgradable in the future if I ever decide to do any hardcore gaming.

My general usage right now is movies, music, browsing and light gaming.

I have monitors, mouse, headphones etc.

I need OS + base *Edit: Backlit keyboard

Budget is around £400-£500.

If i've missed anything let me know,

Ty

Awesome, thanks for the builds, going to have a good look through them all today.

@ andy_mk3 or anybody that can answer for him

I will go with this build and just go straight for the i5 2500k, seems to get a lot of praise and I don't want to feel like I'm missing out.

Will the gfx card fit in the case? I've read the reviews and it's meant to be a big/long card.

If I OC it in the future will I need to buy a better fan?

Do OC sell an anti-static wristband? I can't see one in the store
