You might want to try and stretch for a R9 270x.

you can go with this (R7 250X) GPU....it's way faster and only 5 pounds more....

R9 250 is trash and not worth 74£

To be honest, it isn't that great.

 

Give me a moment and I will put something together. On second thought, @CoolBeans build is great.

get an athlon 750k or 760k and a 270x.

Bit more, but way better, 250 is pretty bad

A better motherboard would be good. As it is you will have to verify with the vendor that the motherboard you want to buy ships with BIOS 1401 otherwise the cpu will not be supported.

 

As others have said, a better gpu would be good.

 

You might also consider a different psu. While it is not module the less expensive XFX P1-450S-X2B9 is a good choice. The modular Corsair CX 500M is also a good choice.

 

What case will you be using?
