My bad, fixed it.


Give me a benchmark for both of them to get a good idea of how their like.


You have linked the same build twice.


My bad fixed it.



I would for the most part ignore the PC linked down below, it costs more than your current build and for some reason pairs an APU with a GPU, which being a 280x actually defies the point of pairing a GPU with an APU.

If i were you i would see if i could push a rig running these specs :

CPU : FX 6300
MOTHERBOARD : Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
RAM : HyperX 8 GB 1600 MHz
PSU :CXM 500W
HDD :WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue
GPU : Sapphire Radeon R9 270
CASE :Carbide Series SPEC-01

This build may be a little bit more expensive but it will perform better than the previous build.

Either way you should be fine with the rig you have designed thusfar :)

AMD has a thing called dual graphics. Look at the box and it will show the card its meant to pair with. Put those two together and the iGPU and GPU will work together like they are 2 cards being crossfired

Yes i know that, however you should know that the is no tangible gains by pairing anything higher than a 270 with the APU.

No you can still play next gen games on dual core, all you need to have is a good GPU and a GTX 660 SC is great for next gen.

Its great, except for one thing, the motherboard, you will not be able to overclock a whole lot with that motherboard. All in all, everything will work well with the next gen games
