Solution
thank you. Btw,if you know other names,please lemme know.You got me. Yes,I dont want to buy a GPU cuz I saw that this cpu has 6 cores of graphics. Thats pretty impresive and as my purpose is doing heavy photographic works,I dont want a slow machine. Games come to me after that. Kaveri consumes less power? True eh? For the many reasons I chose this processor. But facing 3 confusions. Try to help me out.
1. How much RAM gonna need? 6 minimum?
2. I dont want a big cabinet for my desktop. Can a mid tower hold it in a good way or would be bottlenecked?

Well, FM2 + HSA 'may' be a good combo for you if you do apps and moderate gaming, but only if your apps will benefit from fast RAM.
You want to pair the best APU you can afford with ~8GB of DDR3 RAM of the fastest speed you can afford. 2133-2400 will help with performance up to a point and seems to be the sweet spot.
The current Kaveri APUs are 4 core CPUs with an on-chip GPU. You can boost game performance by researching what GPUs will Crossfire with the APU and add a discrete GPU later.
The drawback is your CPU and GPU are tied together and this platform has very a specific upgrade path with some limitations. That is why some builders will still recommend a discrete CPU and GPU.
A mid tower will fit these fine.

You can but I wouldn't recommend battlefield 4 without a GPU, even the 7850K struggles to play despite AMD's marketing.
2133-2400 this is the ram speed, common RAM speed is 1666mhz but for the APU's you need 2133MHZ or 2400MHZ to get increased framerates.

Ashy,maddog,thank you! Yea,actually trying to know things to buy a good desktop. In India,700 USD,that I'm going to spend is a 'lot of' money! So asking you guys frankly. Will this machine work in pretty good way for the next 4 years at least? Btw,canI ask you guys about monitors?
