just finished a build, i used a few old components,2x HDD 320GB at 5400rpm , PSU Ultra x2 750W, but replaced most components.
the new components used are as follows
AMD A8-6600k APU OCed to 4.3
Thermaltake contac30 cooler
MSI A88mx gaming
8GB 2x4 DDR 3 1330...... this might need upgraded again, i was on a time crunch and this was the only DDR3 i could find at the local bestbuy
at this point i was done building my budget gaming rig, but then my wife told me if i wanted to get a good GPU go ahead and get one. so i ordered an R9-280x GPU.
from what i have been reading, the APU will bottleneck with GPU, so i am thinking about switching to a CPU. from alittle research it seems that the athlon x4 760k would be a good choice, i would move to an FX series but i do not want to replace my MOBO as well... i have only had the setup for about a week and my wife would kill me if i went and bought another set of new components.
would the athlon x4 760k be my best bet, or should i consider the A10...? or will me current setup be sufficient for now and just wait to see what future FM2+ CPU's hit the market, if any will...... im wanting a system that will play BF4 on at least high settings with no stuttering,
