I'm looking to buy a new PC; one that can stream Xbox/PS3 with no problems - I don't play PC games so the specs don't need to revolve around that.

I have no real price limit, although something around the £800 (1.2k) mark would be nice! Any help would be appreciated as I know nothing about PC builds!

Something like this should do fine:
Total: 477 pounds.

Nothing over the top. You don't need a discrete video card as the integrated graphics on the i5-3470 will do fine. 8GB of RAM should be enough. You can upgrade the case to something "cooler" although I went with the 200R due to its small size and cheap price. You can go for a smaller/larger SSD but I think 128GB is the sweet spot.

Don't listen to him amount does not equal quality. 3570k is a great cpu but if you got the extra cash go for a i7 3770k or i7 2600k

Don't give people false information. The 8 core is best for streaming PC games
