-PS tel me if they are compatible
-which build good hyper trade more? (tabing porns:D) or stream
-and are there any parts choices that i can save money or can make it better..
-as the graphic game upgrade year after year, which of the build last long?


Help me choose:??:

Both are compatible but the FX6300 + AM3+ combo is better in almost any aspects. Well-built, too. Compared to the other FM2 build, AM3+ build has better CPU performance ( at least 1,6 times more ), better GPU performance ( at least 3 times more ), easier for OC-ing later ( since FX6300 produces less heat under load ). It will definitely last longer. The only drawback would be the lack of sata3 ports for super speed SSDs to run at their maximum potential.

you mean the 3.0 slot... about the RAM CAN or CAN NOT up to 1866 or 1600mhz since the mother only support 1333?

 
I meant sata3 6.0gb/s ports ( some ssd require sata3 port to reach highest speed ). And yes RAM speed on that mobo cannot go higher than 1333mhz ( you can put in 1600/1866mhz sticks in but they'll still run at 1333mhz in the end ), but it's not that big of a different that you can realize during daily use.
 
Honestly I would go with the past generation A10 the 5800k I don't think there is enough of a difference to justify the new chip unless you can find a combo to really make it worth it.

Memory bandwidth goes a long way with the A series of CPU's so I will side for now with the 1866 build.

I would not however go for a hybrid crossfire setup its far more stable to go out and purchase a real video card then it is to pair it up with a A series APU mainly because you'll run into stability issues and it won't be nearly as powerful for example if you were to purchase a 7850 with 1 gigabyte.

no enough difference? a10 6800k 7660d dual graph with 6670?
as what other says, dual graphics of 6670 card is the only compatible for amd a10 APU's ( as of now?)

maybe, I will go for FX 6 core an pared it with 7790..

( I will keep asking and reviewing as of now)














 
That A10 has CPU performance of a FX4130, and GPU performance of a HD6570. Even when paired with a hd6670 ( yes, 6670 is the highest you can put on to make a dual graphic setup ), A10's gpu performance is still slower than a HD7750. The AM3+ build get you a FX6300 and a HD7790, so it's pretty obvious here.
 
Yea I'm inclined to side with Madn on this one. I feel like its a better value for anyone who is in the market to get a GPU on the side to go ahead and purchase a CPU not a APU and then turn around and pick up a GPU. I would pick up something like Madn suggests a 6300 pair that with a GPU and you'll be far happier. For example the build below perhaps. It already on its own blows away the APU build a mile. I even went with lower profile memory in the event that you wanted to add a beefy air cooler like the NH-D14
