so I was thinking of getiing a new mobo, 8gb of 1866 ram and amd a8 7600 to upgrade my pc a bit. in total itll cost me a bit over £150. also I will be playing less demanding games and at 720p.
so my question is it worth me doing this? also if I do decide to upgrade in the future and buy a discreet graphics card will the a8 7600 still act as a decent cpu?

Yes the APU is good, and should play games at medium settings at 720p rather nicely. If you eventually upgrade to a discreet GPU, you will just need to disable to onboard graphics from your APU in the bios, and off you go. Its basically the same as my CPU but with build in graphics (x4 750k) So yeah. Its all looking good, at a decent price for an upgrade too :)
