no-frills non-oc system
dual core hyperthreaded i3 + gforce 750ti, this will be better than any amd kaveri setup

also specced a hybrid sshd, for not much more, you'd get 70% of the performance of an ssd for daily workloads, and a 1tb hdd

From personal experience I can tell you real world performance kaveri is good...very good.

I never stated Kaveri was better than the 750ti

Edit: Also OP said he just going to game on Football manager whihc the chip would cope with iGPU :)
