Desktop advice please

First time building a PC, to preplace my 8 year old thing with 2GB RAM and windows XP. Mainly use it for web browsing office, streaming videos online, and some programming in Eclipse IDE.

How does this spec seem? Would a WD Caviar hard disc be much better? Is this motherboard ok?
(bit of leeway in my budget)

Thanks!

What is your budget?

That spec comes to about £600. I could go up to about £700 if necessary.

Hmm.... i3, 4gb RAM and a cheaper motherboard.
