Spec me please

I am looking at building my first PC and would need everything including OS. I am not fussed about playing games, but would like a good performance especially for multitasking including photoshop etc. Budget is £300 excluding OS.

Sorry for being picky, but would it not be possible to build a Intel core i3 or i5 with this budget? On a separate note, I have a few SATA HDDs lying around from my laptops. Wonder if there is a way I could use one of these with this desktop?

Here's the HDD I already have.
Samsung SpinPoint M8 2.5" 320GB 5400RPM SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HN-M320MBB)

Just edited my previous post. Please review

Thank you Stulid. Would the laptop hard disk I mentioned on the previous post plug straight into this spec? Also would i need to buy anything else like cables etc. I am planning to get a logitech keyboard with mousepad? sorry for being so naive.

Would you say this Kaveri spec is better than the core i5? I am just a bit worried about the warranty. I guess you get a full 3 year warranty with i5 compared with 3months on a b grade.
