Hi Team,

I am building a computer for a friend and got a good offer on a ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M, 1TB HDD & the famous AMD A6-6400k Black Edition. (I will throw 8Gb of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 ram in the build).

Before I bought those parts I was kind of googing around to see if that setup in anyway would be to slow to utilize the graphic cards full potential.

I found a few pages selling computers with the A6-6400k + Radeon 280X so I kind of felt pretty secure on the build, but after reading several threads I am nervous that this CPU will not be up for the task and then I am just casting money out of the window. - On a side note: I will probably need this CPU to last until Christmas, I do not want to spoil the kid to much, so if that is possible, that would be great.

What FM2 CPU would be up for the tasks? - Would the A6-6400k with a good stable overclock be able to max out the Radeon 280X?

To be honest I am noob at AMD, below you will find my own pc and what you will soon notice I am a big fan of very fast hardware mainly from Intel, nVidia, etc.- So to be honest I am on new ground here.

Thanks for looking into this.

Cheers,
