Hi so last summer I built myself a new rig using an A-10 5800K due to a tight budget adn not being able to afford a graphics card. So I was looking for some advice on a GPU that would go best with my current CPU and was wondering if I should use one that could be cross fired or discrete and if I use discrete which one would best work.

Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 240-Pin

MSI Socket FM2/AMD A75/DDR3/SATA3 Motherboard FM2-A75MA-E35

AMD A10-5800K APU 3.8Ghz

Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS

With your current PSU, the most you can get is R9 270, or R7 260x. A more powerful card would require a larger PSU and it wouldn't shine anyway because of the APU.

I'd pick this one:
XFX R7-260X-CNF4 Core Edition Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Edit: it's cheaper here:
http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=XFX-R726X2&c=C...

Yes. It's actually the same card at both links. Newegg has great customer support but Superbiiz sells it for $10 less right now. You decide which link to use, if you do want that card.
