I am going to replace my home computer in the next month or so and thought i would delve into the depths of knowledge known as the cellar.

I don't use my computer for much. just email, pulling photos from my camera to send to the inlaws, a little surfing, visiting the cellar, and the occasional word processing. i don't game at all, don't care about having the newest and best (as i wouldn't recognize it anyway)
I use Moz for all of my normal stuff, my wife has to use IE for her real estate business, so an effective popup blocker would be good. i do want to be able burn cd's and that is about it.

what do i need? i don't want to be a schmo and have the salesman sell me crap i don't need. so i'm looking for a basic out of the box setup that has what i need, without all the crap that is necessary to you all, but just shiny stuff to me. oh, and what should i pay? ballpark figures of course.
