I am about to build a pc with these specs: AMD A10-6800k 4.1ghz, Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-DS2 Micro ATX FM2, and Windforce R9 280X (this will be my first build), but i am unsure of what resolution display i should get. Since i'm on a budget, i don't want to be paying a lot when i don't need to be. I usually play quite low-end games, but probably end up playing titanfall/bf4/Arma 3 and so on eventually. If i get a 4k monitor that the 280x can easily handle on the old games, will it then struggle when i get the new ones? Likewise if I get a 1080p monitor (or use my tv), it wont look as nice now on old games, but will it be better for my new ones? Or play it safe with 1440p?
Thanks

He's right. AMD's APUs don't offer a lot of power, so getting a real CPU such as a FX-8320 or a i5-4570 would be good. But if you want to overclock with an Intel CPU, then the i5-4670K would be needed

Thanks guys; ive gone with the updated my parts list with the FX-8320 and new mobo (slightly more expensive). I dont want an intel chip cause of bad experience with them. Hopefully ill build soon. Thanks
