HTPC spec help please

[Hobbsie]

Hi all im finally getting my own man room
so i am looking to get a HTPC now im completely new to this just been doing a lot of googling to understand them a little more.

Would some be so kind as to spec me an entry level system that i could then possibly upgrade at a later date?

not sure on what budget i need for an entry system? im hoping something on the lines of £500?

hope someone could help me.

Thanks
