Hi Guys, I appreciate that you get a lot of these threads, but hopefully someone will take time out of their busy day to help a hardware noob 
Basically, I use a 5 year old computer from PC World (which unsurprisingly is terrible) and recently I got into Guild Wars 2. My PC can't run it at all
My "Media laptop" on the other hand can run it, but barely scrapes 20FPS on lowest settings.
So, I want to build a new PC from scratch, as I'm assuming my current one's parts are too old/busted to be of any use. I do have an 18" HDTV I can use as my monitor, but excluding that I would like to spend around £350, but there's leeway in that.
In terms of performance, I want to be able to run some modern games (GW2 etc) smoothly - even if it's on low graphics. I'm assuming that a PC that can do that will be able to handle day-to-day tasks and video playback so the only other thing is the scope to potentially upgrade later.
