Hey everyone.

So basically my question is, for someone on a tight budget.. Is there anything that is priced similar to the A-10 5800k/6800k APU but could run games such as battlefield 3 or 4 to hit a good FPS at medium or so graphics? (maybe just better fps on low) Such as getting a CPU as the AD750k an putting a dedicated GPU with it? Of course though i'm not exactly sure of the combo or I would put what GPU or a different CPU, that's just an example.

Mostly every benchmark I found though showed that the 5800k APU hit 30fps on battlefield3 for low settings only. Which is understandable considering it's integrated graphics, but not such a playable level when you look to turning that up to medium settings on really any high detailed game of the similar sort.

Basically, if I was to refer someone to get the best out of their $ on their build, what would you most likely change out of this build that they had in mind.

**CPU** | [AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor]
**Motherboard** | [MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory]
**Storage** | [Western Digital RE3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Power Supply** | [Logisys 550W ATX Power Supply]

The case is already been purchased and the optical drive has as well so those won't be a part of the budget. The budget is right at or below $300 but it also can be built for upgrades in the future, but I don't think that should mean not getting the best for the $ you can right now right?

If the APU was to be replaced and a CPU with dedicated GPU was used, the best for the $ I could find on the GPU was these two at the moment. However if anyone else knows anything if that's the way to go them please feel free to let me in on that.
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750
Radeon HD 6670 1GB

Not sure if much should be changed with this? Thanks in advance everyone.

if you can afford the $20 difference the a10-6800k has a better gpu and will run slightly better than that one if not then for such a small budget the best you can do is what you picked. (an APU is the way to go for low budget entry level pc gaming)
