Trev -- welcome!

I think most people would ask what kind of price range / budget you want to observe?

Generally, you'll decide whether you want an AMD processor at the heart of the computer, or an Intel processor.  Certain motherboards and RAM (Random Access Memory) work with certain types of processors.  If you've no preference, price is usually the biggest consideration.  There are people here who will give you some excellent advice.

Thanks!

If you don't need much, get a dell or hp desktop. It's a lot less headache if you aren't sure about building a pc. It will come out to roughly the same price too depending on what you need.
www.dell.com
shopping.hp.com

If you really want to build one yourself, check out www.newegg.com for good prices

Also, it will help if we knew your price range.
