So I am building a pretty budget PC, I will probably be using a DVI output and mostly be using applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator but I occasionally like to play games such as Football Manager 14, Minecraft (High Detail) and Dirt 3 ( Medium detail @ 720p). I have already sorted out components such as the case and PSU but I am having trouble deciding on the correct CPU and have narrowed it down to two options.
Either I could buy a standalone CPU and GPU, if this is the case I would most likely go for the AMD FX-6300. However, this would only allow me to spend around £45 on a graphics card.
Or I could go for a AMD APU from the Richland or Kaveri series such as A-10 7600K and use the intergrated graphics although it would require me to buy a higher MHz of RAM and most likely cancel out the price difference.
Either option I go for has the possibility of adding a better dedicated graphics card in the future. So which one do you reccomend I go for to suit my needs?
