Asrock FM2A75M PRO4+ - Socket FM2+/AMD A75 FCH/DDR3/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX(S041118)
AMD CPU FM2 A6-5400K 3.6GHz Retail boxed with Heatsink and Fan(S038082) OR
AMD CPU FM2 A8-6600K 4.2GHz Richland Retail boxed with Heatsink and Fan
Kingston memory 8GB HyperX Kit (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM RAM(S037799)

I have a 1000w power pack to support it.

Questions:-
Being honest here, Can you crossfire with the MOBO/CPU or would it be 2 GFX cards?
If it can what card would work well with any of the CPU's and if it can not, What is the best to do GFX wise with less than £100.

2ND PC

Asrock FM2A75M PRO4+ - Socket FM2+/AMD A75 FCH/DDR3/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX(S041118)
AMD CPU FM2 A6-5400K 3.6GHz Retail boxed with Heatsink and Fan(S038082) OR
AMD CPU FM2 A8-6600K 4.2GHz Richland Retail boxed with Heatsink and Fan
Kingston memory 8GB HyperX Kit (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM RAM
I have a1000w power pack

Questions:-
They have 1 Asus AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB. Would it be worth using these as crossfire ?


Would these work well on World of Warcraft 1920x1080 High settings or Even Good ?
I can't see the 2nd pc bottlenecking at all even if it was x2 GFX cards, But just incase, Will it ?

I can't change the MOBO's his brother is giving him 2 new ones, Plus they don't have a lot of money, But if you Know a better way to run World of Warcraft with the Asrock FM2A75M PRO4+
and 1000w power pack, I would really like to hear your thoughts.
Budget £120-£150 per PC This is what sucks.

AMD APU shouldnt be paired with any dedicated GPU
the hype about 6670 crossfire is somewhat dissapointing

stick with APU, or cheap pentium + 7770

Yep - don't use APU (integrated graphics CPU). Try AM3 mobo with FX or 81/85 mobo with i3 instead. You aint gonna build anything for $US250. Try putting together a complete parts list with prices (Part Picker) and see what you can do for how much. Try and at least aim for something that will actually play anything on 1080p. I don't think you could even build a PC with integrated graphics CPU only for your budget. And that wouldn't play games anyway. Take a look at the entry point $US600 PC's here on Tom's forums. That's more than twice what you're looking at. Maybe try to buy a secondhand PC on eBay - less than a year old. Good luck!

i7Baby i did say i can't change the MOBOS or i would :) 

So Graphics Master a HD7770 would be best with the A8 CPU and ram, No bottlenecking etc
Do you know if it will play good/high settings on World of Warcraft ?
Also could you think of a ruff FPS ?

I'm really stuck with what CPU to fit and GFX to these MOBO's with such a low budget.
