The Mrs is a teacher and the software she's currently using doesn't work on her iMac so she's stuck doing it on a little laptop which is very slow.

I've been looking at building a PC just for bashing spread sheets, word and internet surfing but unsure on what way to go.

I would prefer to go mITX which gives me a choice of Intel and a Pentium Dual Core or an AMD APU?

Which vender would guys recomend?

If not self-build I'd be seriously tempted by a NUC or BRIX.

If self-build: similar to above, but in a smaller case:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus H81I-Plus Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £58.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £54.98
1 x Samsung SpinPoint M8 2.5" 1TB 5400RPM SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HN-M101MBB) HDD £49.99
1 x Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258 Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £49.99
1 x Antec ISK-310 Mini-ITX Case - Black/Silver (150W PSU) £43.00
1 x Samsung SN-208DB/BEBE Slimline 8x DVD±RW SATA Drive - OEM £17.99
2 x TeamGroup Elite 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Single Channel Module (TED32GM1600C1101) £16.99 (£33.98)
Total : £318.53 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Slightly cheaper as the case comes with a 150w psu, which should be enough to power this, the CPU is only 53W TDP leaving plenty to power the other components.
 
Was thinking at least a 250Gb SSD.

Is the Pentium K worth buying on that itx mobo as overclockin won't be supported?

Budget is around the £350 Mark and an optical drive is not needed.

Using AMD FM2 parts I've managed that, a good PSU, 8gb of RAM and a 250Gb SSD.
