Advice wanted for (First) PC Build

BikerTech

Hi all,

I am looking into building my first PC as the one I have no is well out of date and is just becoming frustrating to operate as it is getting so slow.

The PC I have now is a Hp Pavillion desktop and I have had it for about 6/7 years.

I mostly use my PC for web surfing(youtube/FB/Music+Movies/research)
All low demand things,but it`s come to the point where it,s struggling when I want to play music with media player and surf net at same time,or watch youtube Vid and have other tabs open viewing something else.It slows down and sometimes freezes,to where I would have to restart it.

I would apprieciate if the knowlegable out there could advise me on a buld that would suit me for what i use now,but also a main thing is that I would like the option to upgreade when cash allows in time,so to have a big enough case for that and enough drive spaces if i wanted to add Gaming to my list of activites.

It would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

P.S

My budget would be roughly 500!

This will be lighting fast compared to what you have now especially since it has an SSD drive.
You could add a dedicated graphics crad to this later on if you wanted to start gaming.
