Ideas required!

Hi guys and girls.

 

I'm thinking of building an additional tower for the family.  Usage would probably be pretty much a facebook/email machine but I'm thinking of maybe having it act as a mini nas for my main tower, so for you guys..  suggest parts! I'm looking to spend around £500 (approx 700 USD) not including storage as I currently have 2 4TB HDDs not in use!

Ideally no, but if there is money left over I would probably upgrade the extra monitor i have lying around.   I will need windows though so bare that in mind

Hi guys and girls.

There's no real reason to spend that much man, just go AM1 or something
