I saw a thread saying that they crossfired a10 5800k with a 7750, i am planning to that also since im on a tight budget, but for future plans, im planning to get a 7770 to xfire with my a10 5800k + 7750 + 7770. Is that rig possible?? if yes, what do i need to make it possible?

Its not really possible. Even though SOME 7750 cards will work in dual graphics mode with the A10's, its not worth it cause they don't work together well. The 7750 is to much more powerful than the iGPU in the A10 APU's. Best option would be A10 5800k + (minimum)8GB DDR3 1866/2133/2400mhz + HD 6670 2GB GDDR3. That combination would put you a bit above the new consoles. When using an APU like the A10 ram frequency is a huge factor. Since your main board ram is also your graphics ram the higher frequency the better. I would not go less than 1866mhz ddr3, if your board will support or handle OC'ed ram go with 2133 or 2400mhz ddr3. Also if you have a decent cpu cooler and have room to overclock your A10 5800k, it is worth it. Overclocked the 5800k has about 15-20% more power and will make a noticeable difference.
