I'm looking to buy a PC which actually fits my needs, rather than always having a monster sat there doing nothing

I surf the internet, watch films, listen to music......that's it. Probably will buy an ipad at some point this year (maybe)

No gaming or anything like that. I do download stuff, so I will be using winrar and the like but think that's more storage performance than outright processor grunt

Intel Pentium Haswell G3220 3.0GHz
Gigabyte Z87-HD3

Zalman Z1 - £30.95
BeQuiet 400W - £31.99

Geil 8GB DDR3 CAS9 - £53.99

Samsung Evo SSD 120GB - £62.99
1TB Seagate 7,200rpm - £41.99

Pioneer DVR-221LBK - £12.91

24" BenQ GL2460HM - £118.26
Logitech MK120 Desktop - £11.25

Total - £440.33

Now the CPU and Mobo are coming from my Mining rig which will be replaced with things more sutiable for mining (h61 btc + celeron). The total price reflects this.

would recommend the western digital 1tb blue instead of the seagate.
the wd blue is, on average, more reliable than the seagate
