That may be a bit weak for 1080p.. If you mean hig res video playback, if not should be good for general messing.

You have £100-£150 for the whole system?
 
£100-150 was just for processor and mobo, already have hdd, psu, case. Ive not added ram into the pricing as im assuming i wouldnt need more than 4gig which i can pick up cheap enough.

Just wanting something more perminant than my current solution which is to plug the laptop into the tv when i want to watch a film.
 
What case do you have? Will mATX be okay?

With Trinity the iGPU uses RAM to increase it performance, so the faster the RAM the better your on-board graphics will be..

I'd go all out for this..
