If I have one(A10) + a Kingstone 4 GB RAM Memory,1333 Hz(maybe)
How can I get more performance?Solutions:
-Add more RAM in more Hz,no?and give it to the GPU
-(more expensive)Make Hybrid Crossfire with a HD6670 graphic card
And if I don't own those and I can't afford to buy them,how can I make my Gaming Experience better?
(I want similar solutions like this:''give the X number of Ram to GPU or CPU'',because I'm new in those things)
(+I have read what is compatible,a Base card A82,etc.)
What May I do?

Hi Andrei96399,
Unfortunately there isn't a magic number for those kind of things when you're talking about the parts that you have. The AMD APU's are great but they aren't for enthusiast gamers. I'll be purchasing one for my brother to get him by until he needs a better graphics card.

One biggest things people completely neglect is they save their old mechanical HD and put it in a 'newer' system. Usually 9/10 times the problem with sluggish systems (and even when gaming) are old mechanical HD. Even the speed on new ones aren't nearly close to an SSD. Do you have an SSD or HD? If you have an HD I highly highly recommend an SSD as a 'required' upgrade. I have never gone back to a mechanical HD's and it should be something may new game builds must have.

If it's gaming that really matters to you, I'd also wait to get a better GPU. Save up and don't skate by on getting one just to crossfire with your 7660D/A10, ie. 6670. If you decide to upgrade other things or your CPU altogether, you are then left with a sub-par video card.

What I do recommend, at least in the short term, is getting more memory. Having at least 8GB will help with a little bit of the jitter. Getting faster ram, say 1600 or 1866 won't really make a difference and the difference is only 1-3 frames.

To sum it all up, get an SSD if you haven't already. You will notice a very large difference. Also, save up for a better graphics card (i.e. 7850 (2GB), 7950, 7970). Even a 7790 will be okay but you get the best deal with a 7850 2GB version.

Are you currently running a mechanical HD?

Hello, I'm a proud owner of the A10-5800K APU. And I have to say I'm surprised as far as the performance goes. I completely disagree with the assumption that this CPU is not for enthusiasts. If you want an argument, search up my videos on YouTube (inpersona64). With that said, I'm using this processor in a mini itx gaming setup. It runs everything and I can tell you exactly what to do to get max performance from the 5800K.

8GB of DDR3 (for Windows 7). Go for 1866Mhz or higher.
For the GPU, YOU CAN OVERCLOCK. Stock GPU speed on 7660D is 800Mhz. I pushed it up to 1Ghz with some voltage tweaks using the ASRock tuner program. Of course the heat rises but it IS STABLE. But if you have the money, any 7K series card from amd is better than 7660D.
I've yet to overclock the CPU side of the APU, but I find that the 4.2Ghz turbo boost is just enough to perform well as far as gaming goes.

I have a 600W OCZ modular PSU inside of a Cooler Master Elite 120 itx case with the ASRock FM2A85X-ITX board. My main drive is NOT an SSD but in fact a 7200rpm HDD from Seagate. Boots win 7 in 20 seconds.

This APU can be for enthusiasts, and can perform some high level gaming.

And also, I'm using the stock cooler, so I could probably overclock a little higher if I had an aftermarket cpu cooler.

Hey! I would really enjoy your help.. I play a little league of legends and starcraft. both run great at mid settings. But i want that extra twinkle and shine, i jusy bought the 212 evo heat sink to keep it from running hot.. But i dont know how to over clock the igpu. The cpu is at 3.8 which im fine with, if it needa to go higher it can, but how would i overclock the gpu to get the little bump from mid to high? League is not a graphicly intense game. I know its possible. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
