looking for a cpu mobo and ram bundle.

have around £120 to spend max.
i will be using it for internet, office and some movie playback.

i have a gt220 gpu i could use.

thanks in advance.
 
Should be reasonably snappy. I wouldn't even bother with the GT220 - the Trinity APU will handle all your video playback and even some light gaming, and you can save a little electricity without using the 220.

YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD Athlon X4 740 3.20GHz (Socket FM2) Trinity Quad Core Processor (AD740XWOHJBOX) £53.99
1 x Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 MicroATX Motherboard £35.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED34096M1600HC11DC) £23.99
Total : £124.46 (includes shipping : £8.75).

I dont think you get the integrated graphics with that CPU & the RAM needs to be quicker:

There's no IGP in the Athlons.

Think I'd get a Pentium and H61, it's faster than the trinity dual core, but a lesser IGP.
 
Edit: I stand corrected, I was under the impression it used the same GPU.

In that case, I'd go for the above rig if any gaming is required, or Martini's suggestion of a Pentium for day-to-day.
