Thanks for all your help

As you can see the OS does eat into the budget a bit. You could run the evaluation edition of windows 8 for free, try before you buy so to speak. After 3 months you can then buy the OS and choose between windows 7 and 8.

If it's for the lounge you might like a smaller case, so I'll put forward this mini-itx build. Look forward to seeing what you settle on
