Someone please help me decide :(


You're welcome bud

I personally would have gone for the i3 build if you were going to definately add a GPU (it came to the same price roughly as the AMD build). I did say this earlier........

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £98.99
1 x Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £83.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy 'Yin' Mini-ITX Cube Case - White/Black £64.99
1 x PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 500W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - White £59.99
1 x Toshiba (7K1000.D) 1TB SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA100) £54.98
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PV38G160C9K) £34.99
1 x Asus 24x DVD±RW DRW-24B5ST SATA ReWriter - Black (Retail) £17.99
Total : £427.92 (includes shipping : £10.00).



That would be a good base for an intel setup (note the wifi inc) HOWEVER you would need to add a GPU. As I said a 2nd hand 1GB 460 would be good if you could find one (£50ish). The AMD A10 APU is gaming capable and you can add a GPU later for better performance.

It's not too late to send them a webnote to adjust the order. I know the mobo isnt in stock but you can still place the order and they will ship it out once the bits are in stock
 
The Z77N-wifi (socket 1155) mobo will take the i5K, I paired it with the i3 to keep to your budget. The FM2 one you have ordered WON'T take intel CPUs
