I know that a10-5800k is a prc. meant for gaming.
But how good is it in multitasking compared to fx8350 ,i3 or i5??

If i compare this with an i3 or i5 which would be better??
And would this give good gaming performance??_
a10-5800k+HIS AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

My another q is if the GPU is really necessary wid the Proc.as it is in itself an APU

its pretty good on multitasking play multiple games at once but not recommened with one keyboard & mouse the a10 is better then the i3 but slower then the i5 but only noticeable when playing games with dedicated gpu by frame rates but just in windows and internet browsing its not noticeable. now the a10 igpu (intergrated gpu) is the best over i3,i5 and i7 igpu with fast ddr3 ram.the a10 is cheaper then a i5 with a gpu but preforms less

what is your budget cause there are better gpus then that at the same price
like the
hd 7850 =170
hd 6870 =160
gtx 650 ti=160
hd 7790 =150
hd 6850 =150
gtx 650 = 140
hd 7770 =120
hd 7750 =100
gtx 550 ti=100
hd 6770= 95
hd 6670=70 cross fired with the a10 igpu give you around the gtx 550 ti preformance

After reading many conflicting info on what cards will work in duel graphics with the a10,latest drivers,youtube and on here. I decided to purchase a sapphire HD 7770 ghz'ed ed to try this out with high hopes of success,but unfortunately it dose not work!! or at least I can't get it to! oh well at least the 7770 as a stand alone is a really good improvement on my previous A10 with HD6670 in duel mode.

if anyone has any info that I should be able to duel with the 7770 and how I would love to hear how...

if there a way to mod the bios or programing other than that i think its impossible and i had a10-5800k and msi duel fan oc edition 7770 ghz and there wasn't a way in standard bios or driver but i was satisfied with the hd 7770 performance alone maxing everything in 1366x768 with 60 fps except (ac3,mafia2,boarderlands 2 cause phys x and a little of gta iv stayed above 40+
