Want New PC, Advice Please

[adsldave]

Hello all, Thought i would ask people's opinion's as i don't really know that much about pc hardware (fine with the software side)
I just want a pc for surfing the net, downloading & extracting large files (4gb - 15gb). Listening to music, watching hd content (iplayer, mkv's, etc).

Most importantly i want the pc to be reasonably quick & able to multi task well so i can surf the net while extracting a large file & listening to music, iplayer, etc. Don't want to spend over £500 (already got monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc)

Was looking at this pc:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-012-OP

Would this be up to the task ?, If not could anyone recommend a suitable pc on this site or elsewhere if necessary.

Thanks to all that answer

If you want pre-built, Id recomend the primo oren, here, alternatively RJCs spec gives you more performance if youre comfortable building yourself, its quite easy really

Or do want a pre built

Wow that's quite a list. I was thinking of a pre built one as i don't know much about the hardware side & would probably have difficulty assembling it.
Do overclockers assemble pc's for a hopefully small charge ?

That looks quite good & is very affordable. Would that pc would be reasonable quick at multi tasking as my old pc is so slow when i'm doing 2 or 3 things at once which is what i'm trying to fix with a new pc.

The pc 95thrifles linked to will do multi-tasking fairly good and quick.
