Am hoping to buy myself components and self building a small form computer with my next instalment of my student loan it'll be used mostly for the internet, music, dvds uni work and maybe some Photoshop design. Hoping to spend about £500 to £600 without screen

How about something like this. It has a good CPU, graphics card, 2gb Ram and it is SFF. If you can afford to go about £20 over and will be gaming then I'd suggest the X800 GTO16.
