Hey OC, i'm new to the scene, need an expert(s) opinion, looks like i'm at the right place.

Have checked other threads with similar budget but most already had some components etc.

Basically i've got a maximum budget of £400 for a lone system (meaning no keyboard/mouse , OS or monitor)

I want to use this system for video editing/gaming, I know I wont be able to reach max settings with this budget but hope to be able to play games like ARMA 2 etc

Wireless is a must
I will also be using VGA for the meantime but may move onto HDMI in the future.

I'm very new to the scene and have never built a PC before so this will be my first attempt.

Thanks for the help guys it is very much appreciated, and remember im new to this, so if i'm asking too much please tell me haha.

The CPU has integrated graphics so no need to an additional GPU. The performance of the APU should run ARMA 2 with no issues.
 
altered it slightly, picked board for ram support, latest board revision doesn't if you check the website version :)

and video card added to option 2, you was too quick posting :)

check date edited :)
