I've a budget of £400 max for either a Intel or AMD build which I'll use it for surfing the internet, Adobe Master Collection, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and watch TV programme.

The build must include a 1TB HDD and a SSD

Thanks for your help!

As above, trinity is the best option.

Good choice of power supply but why didn't you pick a better case without a power supply?

Only 4GB of RAM?
 
I just thought as he said he was only gonna be doing what i'd consider light use this would be a good option i did mean to swap out the ram for the Samsung green but forgot to. Case is just a case for this type of use, it just so happened to come with a psu but probably a crappy one.

Better..

though, you need faster RAM: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-137-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387

I'd also drop down to the A8 to bring it in budget: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-328-AM&groupid=701&catid=1967&subcat=1946
