Spec me a work PC

[PureAppleJuice]

Hi there,

I've had a play trying to build a system but I'm a bit out of date with tech these days.

What's the best bang for buck for £400 - £500? I'm of the mind that an AMD APU will do the job, no need for a graphics card.

Needs an OS but it'll just be doing office based tasks, nothing overly intensive mind. Does need decent storage though, 2tb and possibly an SSD for the OS?

Hope you guys can help.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Bit of an update, now going with 2 monitors on top of this! 22" probably ideal.

Naturally happy to increase the budget to reflect whatever requires that.

Thoughts?
