There's a good reason why not many recommend APUs here. You've put too much emphasis on the more expensive performance RAM just to get more frames per second from the internal graphics. For the money spent, could have simply opted for cheaper value DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600 memory and a low-end to mid-range graphic card which would ultimately outperform that configuration. For lower budget gaming around RM1500 range, should look something like this...

Intel Core i3 2100 = RM322
GigaByte GA-H61M-S2P B3 = RM149
4GB Kingston Value RAM DDR3-1600 = RM58
Sapphire HD7750 1GB GDDR5 = RM318 <---- discrete graphics card
Lite-On SATA DVDRW = RM59
Western Digital Blue 500GB SATA HDD = RM169
FSP Hexa 500W ATX PSU = RM149
E-Mag/X-Five ATX casing = RM70
BenQ G2025HD 20" LCD monitor = RM279

Total: RM1583

460W GX? Or is that Extreme Power Plus 460W? As far as I know, Cooler Master GX series has 450W model and not 460W. Anyway, if that is Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 460W model then that PSU is actually 80%+ efficient (even though it was not labeled as 80+ certified). For your information, actual continuous wattage of that Extreme Power Plus 460W model is 420W. As for the GigaByte PoweRock 390W, it may be hard to find nowadays as GigaByte released the newer PowerRock EX series (which is not true wattage, and not 80+ certified unlike the original PoweRock series).

As long as no intensive games, then should be fine. That's the problem with APUs, hard to recommend for gaming when there are better alternatives. You can even check this AMD Trinity APU Peformance as a CPU with Dedicated Graphics Review NCIX Tech Tips. Gamers tend to go for discrete GPUs for better gaming performance. This is why AMD had a huge inventory write down of APUs in their Q3 financial report.

Not familiar with prices in U.K. Without the actual model number, its has to check. Most low budget boards are microATX anyway. As always, check the manufacturer's website for motherboard information.

This model is actually manufactured by FSP. You can read the a of that PSU here: Hardware Secrets » Power » Cooler Master Elite Power 460 W Power Supply Review. Its not bad, and does have roughly between 76.2% and 81.3% efficiency. Again, the actual wattage of this PSU is 420W. However as long as you do not pull the maximum 420W from this PSU (which causes ripples to exceed standard specifications), then everything should be fine.

Most likely Elite Power series for Cooler Master OEM casings. Even though the UL number points to "Cooler Master" (which does not manufacture PSUs at all!), the actual OEM of the PSU should be FSP. The eXtreme Power Plus models have a different UL number pointing to AcBel as OEM...
