The APU series, while having a better iGPU than Intel's offerings, they still aren't enough for modern games, and once you'll get a nice video card, the APU cpu won't be powerful enough to handle it, so I'd highly suggest two things:

1.- Switch to an Intel build, with a H81 mobo + a i3-4330 or at the very least a G3258 CPU.

2.- Get another 100£ so you can get a GTX 750 Ti / R7 260x, anything below that is simply not enough for current games.

Also if possible stretch your budget a little further to get a 1TB HDD, 320GB gets filled up very quickly.

i doubt that without a GPU you can play medium 720p with a playable fps
