Hi Guys, Its my brothers Birthday coming up and he's been complaining about his machine running out of memory and low FPS.

So I was looking at the mobo,cpu bundles for him (his current board CPU,RAM are very old), however we'd like to keep the cost down as much as possible and I don't know a lot about AMDs APU range

Uses: WOW
Hearthstone
few other games
Resolution: 1920x1080

We're not looking for anything amazing but something that can play WOW at mid settings at a good FPS during Raids would be ideal.

He currently has a AMD/ATI 5450 (not sure if its worth moving it over)

Any advise would be much appreciated.

If you think its wise to get a separate GPU then feel free to advise.

I've been looking at: (to give you an idea)
"Recon iX44" Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) Quad Core Value Gaming Bundle
Sapphire Radeon R7 240 Boost 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Card
£319.58

The bundle is a nice but the gpu is some what lacking for gaming at 1080p , what is your max budget ?
