Help required with building a PC for the first time

[jellyman]

Hi all,

I am looking for some help with building a system from scratch for the first time. I will be using it for pretty basic tasks i.e. surfing the net, watching movies and doing work on it.

However, I would like a decent processor, amount of RAM, DVD drive, USB 3.0 slots and hard drive (although I do have an external 2TB hard drive - USB 3.0, which I could use). I will also need Windows for the system. I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.

My budget is £500-£600. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks both for replying. ExRayTed you're right I won't be gaming or overclocking, anytime soon, so I think I'm going to go with the second option. I'm glad I decided to post on here now, the help is very much appreciated.
