Approximate Purchase Date: very soon, ASAP if the price sounds good.

Budget Range: Wouldn't want to be over £750

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Would only use for gaming, internet browsing and word processing.

Are you buying a monitor: I would need a monitor. Around 23".

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebuyer / overclockers. Any reputable dealer

Location: Leeds, UK

Additional Comments: Had a PC a few years ago, sold it to get a laptop for uni but I'm not really transporting the laptop so may as well go back to a PC.

Any help appreciated! Cheers

Something along these lines would suite you nicely.

On the screen front, I have put one in, but I would recommend going to a store and looking at some rather than buying "blind".

Here`s one example of what you could get.
You didn`t mention an OS, so I didn`t add one.

If the price is too high, you can drop the SSD for now:
