What performance can I expect from an A10-7850K?

Instead of buying a processor AND gpu I thought I'll save a bit of money and get an apu. I know it says "r7 graphics" but I was wondering how good is this r7. The main games I'm going to play are Planetside 2, Arma 3, and maybe Battlefield 4. How much performance can I expect from it? Also, will I be able to have mumble and/or teamspeak running while i'm playing?

Arma 3 from what I understand has performance issues on all systems, but seeing as I don't own it, don't really know :(

I'd really try to get at least a 6300 though for a cpu. 8300 series would be even better, but the 6300 is the lowest cpu i'd recommend, even for low/medium settings at 720p, as that actually doesn't really reduce the load on the cpu that much.

For gpu, just look up benchmarks. Off the top of my head, it will probably be okay at those settings resolution, but if I were you I'd save up a bit for a 260x. You will be happier saving up a bit longer so you can have better components in the end, seeing as once you get them, you gotta replace the whole part with a new one if you don't like it.

Ok, then. Would an AMD Fx-4300 and an R7 250x be able to handle these games on at least low/medium at 720p?
