I want to get a pc for Christmas from my perants and they think it a good idea but I don't know if I should buy or build, I can spend around £500-600 ($800-950) and that needs to include monitor, pc, mouse and keyboard ect. Can you suggest pcs or parts to build one, thank you.
 
here is what you get for that budget...

unfortunately, you have to pay for the OS too
