Hello,
I am new to computer building and need some advice on which compontents I should use. I have quite a tight budget of £400 and I want to be able to play modern games at 1080p with a decent framerate. From my own looking around an AMD APU seems the way forward but I do also like the thought of a 750ti.
I already have and OS, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Any comments appreciated.
 
Very tight budget but I came up with this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gainward GeForce GTX 750Ti 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £113.99
1 x Intel Core i3-4130 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £79.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £55.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
1 x Asus H81M-E Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £37.99
1 x SuperFlower Amazon 300W "80 Plus Bronze" Power Supply £29.99

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think that it would be possible to get in hardware like that with such a tight budget. Which one would have the most gaming horsepower?
