Thinking of taking the plunge with below. How does it sound?

CPU - AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz 6 core
Mobo - ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 Micro ATX
RAM - Corsair Vengance 8gb (2x4gb)
Storage - WD Cavier Blue 1tb
Graphics card - Powercolor HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 Myst
Network - TPLink TL-WN781ND
Case - CIT Vantage Type R Gaming Case
PSU - OCZ CoreXStream Series 500w
OS - Windows 8.1 64 bit

Looks ok too me for a budget machine. I only dont know about the psu no knowledge of how good they are

I have a very similar setup, with the AMD6350 (3.9GHz) overclocked to 4.5, on the M5A78L-LE. It is very nice and even with my HD6950, it will pass minimum specs for BF4!
IIRC, the M board does have USB3.0 though.

Remember to pick up a CPU cooler - The H100 is about £45 in the shop right now.

If you wanted you could also get yourself an Intel setup going on (i5 4670k perhaps):

- i5 4670k CPU
- Something like a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP motherboard
- Whichever RAM (1866Mhz or so)
- Same case if you wish
- 500-600W PSU
- £130 - £140 GPU (can get a nice Nvidia GTX660)
- Same WD Caviar HDD

Would probably total around £575 - could be a better build for the price, entirely your call though, I'd go with an Intel build
