I think with a budget build you overspend on the case, a better apu for less money,

Okay, I do need to know 2 things.

Is this for general purpose (web browsing, etc), or some gaming as well?
What is your total budget for the parts you listed?

If the budget is very low (like £200 for the whole PC) you'll need an APU. Otherwise a CPU + GPU will perform better.

Hmm. It's hard to say what the best option would be.

I know it's a bit over budget, but this would offer better performance all around. And upgrading later would probably allow you to run in dual graphics with the APU.

Yeah, but well enough. My $150 netbook can still handle Minecraft at 25-30 fps on medium.

He is overspending on the case, but if that's the main part of his PC he plans to keep indefinitely it may still be worthwhile.
