I want help choosing components for a family PC that won't be used for anything more than web-browsing and productivity like MS Word.

There are certain criteria though...


  • I want it to last for the next 5 years at least. (I had a previous system that needed to be upgraded after three years due to lag issues.)
    It needs to have a wifi card
    It needs to have at least 1TB of storage.
And I also want it to be as powerful as possible for as cheap as possible.

My budget is about £250 - £350. (No peripherals/OS needed.)

This is what I came up with:
