    Don't buy a premade pc, they will generally have shitty cost-cutting parts inside them that wont do you any good in the long run.  You could build a fairly decent PC for 400 quid, what'll be its primary use?

    Something like this will be good enough to run the stuff you need.  An i5 or i7 would beat the 2100 on video editing, but you'd be paying £200+ for a cpu like that.  This i3 will handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and the 6850 can cope at 1920x1080 just fine.

    Part list permalink / Part price breakdown by merchant

    Haha no worries. I'm just north of London at the moment, in Hertfordshire.  But my parents live in Essex so I may be around there some time :).  Also, Intel are releasing their new Ivybridge processors around March, and prices will be a bit lower then too, so hit me up nearer the time and I'll see what we can do.
