Oh. You should reply to posts instead of... not. And follow the topic so you can see when people reply.

Well you definitely won't have a graphics card, if I do the AUD to USD conversion in my head correctly.

You'd definitely need an SSD for the snappy performance, a case/PSU combo, a H81 motherboard, 4GB of RAM and possibly a Celeron processor.

Oh wow yeah, I was completely off on doing the maths in my head. Never mind.

 

EDIT: Why 1600MHz RAM? For an APU system you need faster 2133MHz RAM.

well he didn't say for gaming just casual web browsing with tabs open so a A10 should be all he needs and that might even be over kill maybe a A8 and use the saves money on good RAM
