Hello. Was just wondering if this machine is good enough for maybe light gaming and everyday tasks as it is right now: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WkyJgs . Was also wondering if in the future at some point if I could some point get a gtx 750 ti or something of that sort and get significantly better performance down the line. Or even better run a crossfire with a Radeon discrete GPU if that is possible.

It is Ok for everyday tasks and will be OK for gaming adding a GTX750Ti down the line. Adding another AMD card for CF with onboard would be weaker since it is only low end cards it works with.

Well while i'm here do you think it would be a lot better to go with the new kaveri chips considering I'm already saving a bit on not buying a GPU would it be worth the extra money in preformance?

The higher you go with the APU the better integrated you get. If you can stretch up to an A10 it would be worth it. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-ad679kwohlbox by itself I am not sure of the GPU gain with A8 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-ad740kybjabox but CPU wise there is not much difference.
I would be inclined to go with http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-ad760kwohlbox and go for the GTX750Ti straight away.

That 760k was one of my original idea's but it just seems kind of expensive.... Is it really worth the extra $80 in parts to just get a cpu and a discrete gpu... Probally. Ok I guess your right i'm just in a really tight financial situation right now

Understood but you would have a good low end gaming build that way straight of that would play anything on lowered settings.
