The British firm said the computer will be made from recycled materials and energy-efficient components.
PC World also claimed that carbon offsetting would be used to make the PC fully carbon neutral.
Bryan Magrath, commercial director of PC World, said: "We're harnessing the very latest technology and the expertise of cutting edge component developers to create the first 'PC PC'.
"What isn't widely understood is the enormous progress that has been made in the creation of energy efficient computing technology over the last few years.
"It's a process that we expect to accelerate in the months and years ahead."
The environmentally friendly PC, which will cost between £550 and £650, will run the new Windows Vista operating system.
The computer will also come with an advice booklet for customers on ways in which they can use their PCs to minimise environmental impacts through the use of technology, such as avoiding unnecessary car journeys by communicating via the internet, ordering goods and services and using online banking.
It is expected to go on sale in the summer.
