Slightly, i'd say something a bit lower down the scale, since you psu is only 500w, perhaps one of the r9's like a 270x or similar from AMD. that will do it for 1080p gaming I should think.

LOL slightly????


hehe a 780 ti... good one...

I would not go over gtx 660 level gpu on a a10 else you would just be wasting money on performance you would never see.

coolermaster psu are suspect as well.

8+4? 4+4+4? ram sticks? might not be running in dual channel mode with odd combinations like that.

There you go, the R9-270/270x are on par with the GTX 660, but are probably better better value for money since amd's prices have been dropping lately, and i think they are a bit newer

I guess, but he's not looking to play games at crazy res, only 1080p, so why buy top spec hardware when he won't notice the performance difference at 1080p?
Also, he doesn't want to replace the psu etc, meaning the cards you recommend wouldn't work in his system and down the road, when you recommend replacing the APU or mobo/cpu, what is the best gpu now will probably be midrange, negating the advantages of getting one now, and definitely overloading his psu with a more beefy mobo/cpu or apu.
