A couple months ago, I built a low-end PC for around $200, from micro center and newegg.

Here's my specs
AMD A6-6400K overclocked to 5 GHZ
Integrated 8470D OC'd to 1100 MHz
CM Hyper T4 with Arctic MX4
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 2400Mhz
MSI FM2-A75MA-P33 Board
Two 160Gb Seagate 7200 Rpm HDDs in Raid 0

So, I play all my games on a 720p TV, and I currently can play most games from the 2011 era on high/even ultra, but 2013 games I'm stuck on minimum everything. I am looking for an inexpensive GPU that can play games at 720P on medium/high.

I was thinking of crossfiring the 8470d with a 6570/6670, or would I be better off buying a Radeon R7 240 OC edition.

On a side note, my Passmark CPU score is 3248, while the GPU is 937.

Thanks in advance.

Edit-400w power supply without 6 pin, but I could use a molex adapter.

You don't mention power supply anywhere be sure you have enough of one to run it, You could have built that computer with a 250W supply probably, but can't add a GPU with that supply.


I would look at something like a 650 TI or 650 TIboost 2gb. I have a 6670 on one of my more recent builds and it will run things like league of legends fine, but World of tanks it hangs around 27~30 fps a medium settings. My rig runs a 650 Ti and it will play the same game without falling below 50 fps (granted they are two entirely different systems built around them)

they recomend hybriding the 6570 offically with a6 6400k but i recon you could easily get the 6670 to work and note 400w psu will not be enough minimum for hybrid is 500w psu
