Hello, im looking to just
1) play dota 2
2) Lightroom photoshopping
3) Youtube/ microsoft word / web surfing / face book / view videos.

I would like a rig that can do 1) + 3) or 2) + 3) at the same time. My budget is 200 pounds including monitor and keyboard. Can i do it ? The below is my proposed build.... any suggestions ? Im very lost.

AMD A8-5600k 77.05 pounds

MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2 43.50 pounds


Corsair 8gb (2x4gb) 1600Mhz DDR3 26.94 pounds


Fractal mATX Case 34.28 pounds


Corsair PSU 430W 37.73 pounds

160GB 3.5" SATA Harddrive - DESKTOP HDD 160 GB Hard drive disk 15.99 pounds
Total = 235.

I am overbudget already.

I am thinking of combining Case + PSU together from this deal here:

or

With this cost just costs around 30.00 pounds. Cutting down the price by 40,

So Total = 195.00 .

But i am very worried that the Case + PSU is really crappy / insufficient etc... I quite need a PC urgently to replace my laptop. My current laptop specs are
AMD Turion X2 RM-72. its a 2.1 ghz dual core. and ATI Radeon HD 3200. 3gb ram.

Looking to upgrade from this laptop so i can play dota 2 and do lightroom+photoshop + multitask.
Thanks for looking. Hopefully can get a system ready so i can finally get my hands to build it !

No i do not have a monitor and kb. Would it be hard to assemble the components that i put up there ? I've never done this before and im kinda pressured to buy the items very soon.

What do i actually need to be able to assemble them ? Is there a fool-proof guide on this ? I've just watched 1-2 videos on youtube which doesn't seem pretty complicated but that's about it.

Is there any equipments that i would need ? I read that i'd need a
1)anti-static wrist band

What else do i need ? Screwdrivers ? size ?
