I as wondering if I should buy a R7 240 1gb GDDR5 (for basic gaming)
Here: This
And if I could use CrossFire (or dual Graphics, not exactly sure on correct term) with the AMD A10 5700 found in This PC. If I can not use this, please tell me what card I could Crossfire (or use dual graphics) with this APU. I just need a HDMI OR VGA Port.

Thanks in advance!!!

here is some benchmarks of dual graphics

and as it is shown the performance increase over using the 6670 as a single card in 3 or 4 fps. also with dua graphics you have to deal with microstutter which is extremely annoying.
personally i would go with a discrete card there are 250s in that price range

So Would I be better off getting the discrete card and having the igpu disabled?
Because it is GDDR5 while the card AMD recommends is DDR3

You can crossfire just fine I have two r7 240s and you cant beat it for the price it was under 100 for both and only 30 watts each so your electric bill wont sky rocket
