Hey all, hoping I could get a quick yes or no on this build for my girlfriend. She wants to get in on the, for all intents and purposes, basement of PC gaming and I put together a rig for her that came in around $260 without shipping and taxes. I just wanted to know if the power I have in it could run 720P games at low settings. My personal rig is god-like in comparison and can run practically anything, but I'm going for the pure opposite. I opted for an APU build in hopes that it would not require a discrete card for the low-end gaming she plans on doing. Parts list below...

Case with 400 Watt PSU:
HEC Vigilance400
$29.99

Mainboard:
MSI FM2-A55M-E33
$44.99

APU:
AMD A4-4000 Richland 3.2GHz
$45.99

RAM:
Team Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB)
$55.99

HDD:
Western Digital WD Green WD10EZRX
$74.99

~$260 Excluding Taxes and Shipping

What is your budget and currency?
Do you want to overclock?
Do you want peripherals included in your budget?
What are you wanting to do with the PC, from most to least important?

Apologies, I could have clarified a bit on that post...
Budget is less than $400 conclusively (including S+H)
She'll have no need to overclock
All peripherals have already been acquired
Lastly, low-end 720P gaming (TF2, Terraria, Minecraft, etc.)
