I am building my first gaming PC and I am on a budget. People recommended the a10 5800k APU, and I read in a few places that crosdfiring the igpu of the a10 with a radeon 6670 could increase performance up to the equivalence of a radeon 7770. I want to know: Is this true? And what kind of performance would I get out of crossfiring compared to buying a Radeon 7770? And here are my system specs:

It's true but I suggest just going with a quad core phenom and just getting a 7770 or better depending on sales.

Which phenom do you recommend? Will it not bottleneck a gpu above 7770?

this or the non black version if you don't want to overclock and save a few


Thanks but I chose to be going with an FX-6300 with a radeon 7770

ya thats a good build. I only didn't suggest it because it was more expensive than your first option and I thought it was a strict budget
