Hi all, I'm going to change the team and I have a couple of questions when choosing between these two teams:

. 1 Motherboard Asus A88X-Plus, AMD A Series A8-6500 - Processor (AMD A8, 3.5 GHz, FM2, DDR3-SDRAM, 1866 MHz, AMD Radeon HD 8570D), Asus graphics card R7 2GB 260X OC.

2. Asus M5A97 EVO Motherboard R.2, AMD FX 6350 - Processor (Socket AM3 +, 4.2 GHz), ASUS graphics card PCI-E N-DC2OCPH-2GD5 GTX660 - Graphics card (GeForce GTX 660, 4096 x 2160 pixels, NVIDIA , 2048 MB, GDDR5-SDRAM, 192 bit).

For both cases 8gb memory 1866.

The other question is whether the first option would work in the crossfire between GPU and APU.

Thanks in advance and greetings.

1)there are better options than those two configurations, but if i had to choose id say #2

2) No, xfire must generaly be the same line of cards (ie atleast 7870 and 7850, no 7970 and 7870 etc. ), and there is poor support for mixing dedicated and integrated graphics

You can crossfire the A6, A8, and A10 series of integrated graphics with R7 250, HD 6570, HD 6670, and the HD 6450.

345 euros is about $460 american, given that, this would perform much better:

With nvidia it would be something like this, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3mPXRB
Less powerful, but also about 30 euros less expensive
