As you can see the OS eats a lot of your budget up. Maybe you would like to consider trying the DE version of windows 8 first and concentrate your cash now on the components.

The A8K is ok but the A10K has a better IGP for gaming.

The motherboard won't fit the case, is there another one you could recommend? The ones on the overclockers website come with built in CPU's that are probably rubbish.?

You have the case already then?

There aren't many mini-itx mobos to chose from on the FM2 socket, Infact the PSU might not even fit in the case

Yeah, got the case a Fractal Design Core 1000 Micro ITX case.

I'll try and get the PSU size spec, and see if it fits.
Thanks for the list though, definitely take that all into consideration.
Will I be able to get a graphics card further down the line if I want to? And what can the built in graphics on this achieve? Like what sort of games will it be able to run smoothly etc etc.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated
