The integrated HD 8670D graphics you have won't be able to CrossFire with anything. You can't combine any of the graphics card you listed, or any dedicated graphics card at all for that matter. All dedicated graphics cards are of different architecture than your integrated graphics card, so dual graphics is not an option for you unless you buy 2 individual dedicated graphics cards.

Of the dedicated GPUs you listed, the HD 7750 is clearly the best, and will outperform your current integrated 8670D. However, there are plenty of other graphics cards which are far better than that. You didn't list a budget, but I assume you're not willing to spend $500 (not that that'd be a good idea considering how weak your CPU is).

Since that's the case, I suppose the Radeon HD 7850 ($~140 - $150) would be the best option to get good performance and to make sure that in more CPU reliant games, your CPU wouldn't cause your game to run so slowly that you couldn't see the abilities of your graphics card (such a phenomenon is known as bottlenecking). However, the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition is a noteably more powerful GPU, and will increase your overall experience for a slight increase in spending, since it comes in somewhere between $160 - $175. It's advantage over the HD 7850 may be wasted in more CPU reliant games because your CPU is a bit weak (again, bottlenecking) but in non-CPU reliant games you'd notice a good advantage that it'd have over the HD 7850.

Either one is good, though if you can't afford that then the HD 7750 is a good, low-budget card as well.

With the closeout prices on the amd hd7850 it makes more sense to get a hd7850 for $120 to 140 after mir at Newegg. You also get 2 free games. Disable the A10 graphics and use the hd7850.

You can absolutely run dual graphics with up to a HD 6670. AMD doesn't call it crossfire, but that is really what it is. The DDR5 version would be best. Also make sure you're running at least 1866mhz RAM for your apu. You have to have reasonable expectations though. This setup will play 720p pretty well. It will play 1440x900 decently, but you're looking at low-mid settings on 1080p at best.

People immediately hate on the A10s, but they're awesome for budget 720p gaming.

Even one HD 7770 would be better though. If you want 1080p gaming, this setup is not for you.

It's all about expectations. What are yours?
