I'm 14 and I'm really poor, I can spend about £330 on a gaming pc and I have two builds on my shortlist, one premade, and one component list. Please post pcpartpicker lists but only if all parts are order-able in the UK (preferably Amazon Uk)

Here are the two I have in mind

Thanks for your time to read this and I look forward to your answers :)

I would go with an AMD APU build. It will give you decent gaming performance at lower resolutions, and later on you could add a HD7750 (IIRC) to crossfire.

This is a decent article with some good videos showing real performance of this APU in today's modern demanding games. With the option to crossfire you can really enhance your build with a minimal cost, or even get a faster GPU and not crossfire. But for now, this is a good start in my opinion.
