New budget(ish) box for general use.
Uses will be (in no particular order):
1. Browsing and email
2. Office docs (basic)
3. Small amount of photo editting
4. Will be used to stream media to network capable AV amp


Cant think of many more uses, definitely no gaming.
£500 is target budget. Just want to check there isnt anything obivously wrong or any slight upgrades/changes that might be worthwhile.

Thanks in advance!

You could probably save 70£ if you got a e2200 and 2 gb ram instead. for small amounts of photo editing it will still fly. I'm building my mum a photoshop rig at the moment and its come in at just under £300. with every thing

here's the spec
