Hi guys, how are you all? Im a long-term member, but infrequent poster, so bare with me.

Im looking for a new PC. It must be small, quiet, yet suitable for the next couple of years of easy multi-tasking (internet, itunes, VLC, a bit of video transcoding, photo editing, etc). Ive made the following spec which i believe is all compatible, and I really would like an SSD involved. Im looking to spend between £500-600 excluding VAT too.

its such a horrid spec I don't know where to start.

psu is crap.

2600K CPU and a H67 mobo is wasted.

harddrive is crap and small in size.
 
Have to agree with stulid that is an awful spec, a complete waste of the k chip.
Whats your budget can sort something better out?

Go for stulids build but i would definately recommend a bigger HDD if your going to be editing (make sure its 7200 rpm).
 
Ha, just noticed the SSD request, and a 1TB because Greavesy is right.
