Hello.
I am building a gaming PC and was considering the option of buying an AMD A10 series APU and running the integrated graphics in Crossfire with a discrete graphics card. Is this going to be more beneficial than just buying a FX series CPU and a R9 270x?

Neither is a good solution as the APu is made for Lower Power, Lower Cost, Lower DEMAND for the 90% other marketspace (Grandma chekcing her email) and will and does CHOKE for those gamecards. IF your set on about AMD the ONLY viable solution at the moment is FX-83xx . AMD has walked away form competing for Gamer's, and is profiting on the cheaper 'non gamer ' market space. Honestly everyone is forced to succumb and settle with a i5 Haswell as the 'normal platform'.
