PC build suggestions

What kind of build would be good for quick dvd ripping and could you recommend the necessary software that I would need in order to be able to rip and back up my dvd collection?

The only thing you need really is a retail (these normally come with software included) DVD/RW drive in any sort of machine, its difficult to spec without a budget, do you want machine to be able to do anything else at all? or is it just for copying dvds?

Thanks for the suggestion. It would only really be used for general document writing, browsing the net, watching movies, playing the occassional game and downloading. I guess my budget could stretch to 500-600 pounds max if absolutely needed.

then for the gaming just add a dedicated gfx card such as the 460, rest can stay the same, youll still be round £500 mark
