Fm2+ motherboard with CF HD7950's

Locopatre · Jun 3, 2014

Hello
I am planning to buy this system for a cheap price and i know that the CPU will bottleneck the GPU...

- AMD A6-5400 (Dualcore) 4.30 GHz
- 8 GB DDR3
- Corsair 750 Watt
- 80 GB HDD
- 2x XFX ATI HD7950 met Crossfire

And now i need some help guys, The motherboard has an FM2+ socket.... So my only option for buying a new CPU would be the kaveri(AMD A10-7850K) which is also an APU. Will this work with this system?(it is a quadcore 3,7Ghz) and will i get full performance of the HD7950's?

Or should i buy a new motherboard + a new CPU?
My budget is not much tough...

Thanks a lot guys and i will appreciate it alot if u help me!

80GB HDD? Was this a mining rig?

Really to make it worth it save up. I have two 7950's in crossfire and even the fx 6300 doesn't let them breathe. I had to upgrade to an i5 4670k to let them breathe. Save up.

No i asked him that too but he told me that he doesnt even know what that is and the graphic cards was brand new...
But What do you guys suggest me to do? Buy the pc for a cheap price, then save up to change the motherboard and get a good cpu with it?

It all comes down to price. It's easy to get used high end Radeons for cheap right now.

Lets say that i have boughd the pc.
Then what do u suggest me to do? Buy the kaveri? or buy a new motherboard/CPU?
Thanks for helping tough!

I would convert this to two PCs.

One low power PC that just uses the APU and whatever cheap parts. Or just sell the FM2 motherboard and APU.

Then take the Radeons and build a more powerful PC using an Intel Haswell i5 or i7. You could even sell or trade one of the Radeons to help get the better platform.

I would definitely NOT buy a Kaveri APU right now.
