Hi, so I recently got an R7 265 sapphire to crossfire with my A10-6800K, but I was wondering if I could get a stronger APU that still crossfires with the R7. Don't worry about price but at the same time please don't suggest anything too mental, maximum around 250 pounds,
Thanks :)

The APU 7850k will become a botlleneck for a crossfire. Its not worth it really. Also the athlon x4 760k is the same the 7850k has. Soo anything higher than a r7 260x isnt realy worth it really as it wont increase performance further more as you can see here:

My opinion go for this config
CPU: 120$ AMD Fx6300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
MB: 75$ Gigabyte 970a DS3P http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
SSD: 65$ 120gb Muskin http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Exactly 250$ for the win.

you can't crossfire the card with an apu but if the max you want is £250 then i reccomend getting a crossfire mobo and getting another r7 265 if your PSU can handle it and if it can't you can probably buy a new psu and still have money to spare
