I would probably go for the coolermaster B600 psu. Its 600w, either 80 or 85+, cant remember and usually goes for around £42. I don't rate xfx with power supplies very much. Anyhow even if you rate both the same for the sake of £2.05 you get 600w instead of 450w.

Case is a personal choice but I would probably pay extra and get a phantom

XFX PSUs are rebranded Seasonic arguably the best in the business.

That mobo might need a BIOS update to take the Richland APU. To be honest it's not a massive step up from Trinity. Also the Core Shinobi case has NO fans or a badge/grill.....

Better mobo, faster RAM, larger and faster SSD. Case is packed with kit and a semi modular PSU there to help with cable management.

For best bang for buck you can swing a pretty decent intel build.....

Think I'd go for this as the it should handle games better than the apu. The case isn't as nice and don't know about the ssd but it has good speeds and a 3 year warranty.
