Spec Me A Work PC

Hi all.

I have had a few incidents were my slow work computer is causing me problems.

I need a new rig that I will be using it for Outlook, Word and Internet.

I need the following

PC
Keyboard and Mouse
Monitor (24 inch if possible)
SSD Drive for quick boot (i currently use 45gb of my current hard drive)

I have all the software I require.

Reliability is important so I dont mind the os on the SSD and the files on a separate drive if needed.

Can anyone help.

Budget £400.00 if possible but no more than £500.00

By the way, word of advice - "workstation" is generally used to refer to very high end PCs, used for things like video editing, which have server grade parts, 16 cores and cost literally thousands of pounds. The title of your thread may cause some confusion ;)

ok thanks I have a work pc that can cause embarassment when people call becuase it takes ages to load and find files etc. it needs to be a lot sharper and quicker.

i have been allowed to upgrade with a maximum budget of £500.00.

my current spec is a Pentium Dual Core with 2gb RAM running XP.

Under £500.

Changed the monitor for a 22". I use a 22" and it's great.

Also changed the case + mouse/keyboard for ones which are in stock.
