After years of messing around with computers I've finally decided to build one from scratch.

Don't play much in the way of games, so need for graphics card - you are limited to the resolution/spec of your monitor anyway

4 gig ample for my current needs - can take 16 so no problem there.

System cost just over 200 squids.
