Budget gaming university pc

[L10YD357]

Im going to university in september and i am looking to build a decent gaming pc to last me. I will want to overclock a little bit (dont mind buying a separate cpu cooler). I will go amd due to me being on a budget. I will want to play skyrim, mmo and assassins creed 4 lag free (med settings).

Questions:
1. Which amd chipset?
2. ATX or mATX board size?

£60 max on a motherboard

Thanks

Realy good,
Hd 7850 gives you a big boost, but a bit over budget...
Its worth it though...
