The R7 graphics is integrated with the A8 chips....not exactly ideal, but one of the better integrated options, I guess. You're not going to be able to do any real demanding gaming on it, but you should probably get by with most games on low settings at best.

Assuming a pre-built? If you're going for Windows, you're looking around 80quid, and anything pre-built tends to have a lower quality PSU (hence "500W Power Supply") - no brand, no model, no info.

350 is low, but possible.....let me work something up.

*Edit* - Nevermind, logainofhades has put together pretty much the best you're going to be able to do for 350......another 60 or so would get you an i5 which would help for longevity (and another 40 would get you a GTX 950), but he's hit the nail on the head for your budget.
