So rather than typing it all out again ye can read that, it says what I want.

Basically I need a new PC...

+ Budget of around 600 euro maybe a little more?
+ Blu Ray Player
+ 20 - 22 inch Monitor
+ Good sound is important too.

It'd be a nice idea to build my own PC, is there much work to it? Would it be mostly just plugging in parts and organising them in a case or is it more soldering?
Something that wont have to be upgraded or changed in a year or two aswell!
Any help at all?!

Thanks anyway!

Heya,

You could maybe go for the €400 build on this list
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=72038305&postcount=1037 and instead of the DVD drive get this blu-ray drive: http://www4.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=30682&agid=856

This monitor is great for the price

PC building usually involves no soldering and its mostly plugging in parts

Thanks! Nope, gaming isnt a priority, only want it for iTunes, movies, a few spreadsheets and word documents. It might look a bit over the top, but I dont want to have to be upgrading in a year again.
Trying to keep on top of it for a while to come, if thats possible!

Well you could bump the processor up to a i5-2400 for an extra €50 which would keep you going for a long time. The only thing you'd be missing is a dedicated graphics card, but if you aren't playing games then its not really needed. The onboard will be plenty for Blu-Ray movies.
