Thanks that looks good i take it the cpu has a stock cooler ?

Yep the cpu will come with a stock cooler so you won't have to worry about buying one separate.

The cpu that has been specced is an 'APU', which means it has a graphics card built in that is very capable so you won't have to buy a graphics card separate either.

Yes, the CPU would come with a stock cooler. If you felt the need, you could get an aftermarket one:

Akasa Venom

Cooler Master Hyper 212

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13, I have one of these on my AMD FX6100, idles at about 800rpm, nice and quiet, does a great job.

No need for an aftermarket cooler it's not going to be overclocked thanks for your help
