Help in buying new pc/desktop please?

Mum-of-2

Hi all!
Would anybody be able to advise me as i am needing a new PC.. this one has 'had it!' but I have had it many, many years!

I'm worried about going into PC world and spending a fortune as i really dont have a clue what I am looking for....

If anyone could spare the time I'd like a new monitor, keyboard and mouse.. and the PC would have the latest windows..... not really sure what else to add?
Thank you very much in advance!

What you use it for?

Online shopping, kids homework.
Not gaming or watching films.

What, specifically, is wrong with the current one?

Good thing about PC's, you can usually improve them for a few £.

Hi, well its making a 'growling' noise! I googled and thought it could have been a build up of dust on the fan, so used my hoover hose to suck it out!! which helped a bit but now its doing it again with a constant buzzing... also I have windows XP on this and I take it that's out of date? I cant sync my iphone as itunes needs a newer version, things like that?:o

So you want to spend good money on a new PC, because a £2 cooling fan has worn bearings?
