I am starting my gaming cafe with setup of 10 PCs.
I am thinking of following config:
AMD A10 5800k CPU
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 FM2
GSKILL RIPJAWS SERIES 4GB DDR3 RAM
500GB HDD
18.5" LED

alter to above CPU MOBO
I3 -2120(3rd gens shooting my budget a bit)
Intel DH61WW mobo
NVIdia 610gt 2gb card
rest same

according to my budget amd PC fits perfectly but if time comes(if its worth spending)i will take intel.need opinion & suggestions of you guys...which config should i select..

Waiting for your reply

I would say the A10 5700 or 5800k is your best option presently. If you are patient until June Richland based A10 6800K will release with a good helping of iGPU performance. One component I do urge you to invest heavily in is DDR3 2133, I have told countless people this and you just cannot put into words how good of an investment it is if you want to be running a iGPU setup.

Just a few titles you can run at 1080P on High presents (you may have to adjust your Anti Aliasing and Anistrophy to find the best playable performance). Skyrim and Arkhym City can get Medium/High settings at...

Don't bother with the GT610, the card is utterly useless and a A10 5800k's GPU out performs it by a LONG shot.

Your A10 build looks OK, Might suggest to get something like a 7770/7790 and use crossfire to get a bit more.

As mentioned above, what is your budget?

FYI - if you go with the Intel, you would need a 7790+ / 650ti+ graphics card to actually out perform the AMD.

Skyrim and Arkhym City can get Medium/High settings at 16x10 with no AA or AF, BF3 unfortunetely is only playable at low settings with Meshing maxed out to be playable.

The nVidia GT 610 is just a re-branded nVidia GT 520. It has pretty poor performance. The Radeon HD 7660D in the Trinity A10-5800k APU is more power than the GT 610. The Richland successor to the Trinity A10 should be have a more powerful graphics core. How powerful? Unknown. Maybe it well be 20%. Maybe it will be 40%. Maybe... until official reviews are published.

The below chart illustrates the average performance of the GT 610 (GT 520). The Radeon HD 7660D is basically equivalent to the Radeon HD 5570. I've seen may people who claims it is close to the Radeon HD 6670. That is dead wrong.

Richland is a product refresh, while better it is a starter for the main course which is Kaveri, this is where iGPU's will become quite serious. Richland mobility is only launching tomorrow, from what I gather Richland desktop is about 2 months off.
