Need help Building a system

[masterofallchief]

I need help in purchasing a or building a system for my needs.

These are the things I like to do.

I like a system that I can surf the web that is it.

But I also like a system that does alot of work stuff and graphics like camera and pictures.

I really would like to build one and at a cost under 800 dollars.

I know that I can use VM ware or some virtual software. Please help me on this matter
