Building a new rig £450

Hi, I'm trying to build a new gaming pc for my friend but his budget is quite low and he planned to buy a system off ebay but I suggested to build one instead, but not sure good components are there within his budget range.

Was thinking of AMD as its cheaper compare to intel, but if someone could suggest a system within his budget that'd be great. Thanks.

GPU is somewhat optional at the moment due to low budget, but if you can squeeze in a good GPU that'd be a plus.

Games he plays:
CounterStrike
Dota 2
MMORPG (not heavily graphic)

Looks like a good build thanks. Is the stock cooler not that good? I know the Akasa is cheap. Will show him this tomorrow and see what he says.

How ok is the integrated graphic of AMD? I know having a dedicated is better but just curios.

I meant the APU?

Oh okay cool, he seems to like the parts but yet to order them. Btw I know that there is new AMD cpus now, how are they compare to Pildriver?
