I just recently purchased an amd A8-5600K... i was wondering what BEST GPU is compatible if i would crossfire it.. My MOBO only have 1 slot for GPU (Gigabyte F2a55m-ds2).
Also, what would you guys recommend? My budget for GPU is around $100-150.

1. Should i go with my APU + Crossfire
2. Should i go with a dedicated GPU (I prefer Radeon than Nvidia)
3. Other ideas

Thank you so much guys! Any help would be appreciated!

Ditto. Just go with the best graphics card you can afford. The APU graphics will work as a nice backup should your graphics card ever fail.

Why not ! if the "crossfire" doesnt work , you ll turned off the built-in videocard and use HD 7770 .alone .

You can try to have them in dual graphics but if it fails , you ll still have a robust HD 7790 .

...but only those listed on the link whitecat provided will work as a dual-graphics set up.

Per the link Whitecat gave, the only graphics card that will work in dual-graphics (crossfire) mode with your processor is the HD6570. Again, you can install and use whatever graphics card you want, but only the HD6570 will work in conjunction with your APU graphics.
