How well would they preform?
Could it play Legue Of Legends, battlefield 4, call of duty ghosts andsome others smoothly?
(I have 4gb of 1600mhz ram planned, but going to upgrade to 8 1600mhz later (2x4)

Thank you all!

So you're saying a single discrete gpu will preform better then doubling the apu with another one?

what i really mean is it will be easy to handle and most of the time it will perform better than dual graphic solution due to software simplicity. and it is entirely possible that strong single gpu able to out perform dual graphic combination altogether. i haven't follow APU that much but i think even current mid range gpu will not going be hold back too much by APU. i heard that even R9 270/270X should do just fine with 6800K.

If so, what should i use? I'm thinking about an r7 but wich one?

depends on your budget. R7 260 or 265 is quite good but since those card need 1 6 pin from power supply you need to make sure your...

You do know that the operating system, game , and the built in graphics on the processor are going to eat all your memory I hope, your going to need 8gb right off the bat.

I know that i need 8gb, zerk2012
Renz 496, i don't have the money for a discrete gpu, that's why i'm starting with an APU, and then i'm gonna buy a discrete gpu... But i'm asking, is the hd6670 good to crossfire with the a10-6800k ?
Oh and, madogfargo, is the 1600mhz upgrade really necessaire?
Thank you all for the help ^^
 
i can understand the reason why you're picking APU. so right now you need to decide which route to take when you got the money to add discrete gpu to the system. personally i vote for getting stronger gpu instead to mess around with dual graphic setup. about RAM i heard APU can benefit from faster ram. but i think you should be fine with 1600Mhz one. you said your budget is limited making you're not picking discrete gpu right away. is there cheap RAM with 1800Mhz speed and above?

Oh and... The amd a10-6800k is compared to what? A 4th generation intel i3 ? Help xD
Thank you for all the help, renz... Also i'll pick you as the best answer if you answer these two other questions i asked xd thank you man ^^

depends on your budget. R7 260 or 265 is quite good but since those card need 1 6 pin from power supply you need to make sure your PSU are good enough for it. if you want to use a card without the need of 6 pin you can get GTX750Ti which is almost as good as R7 265 in performance.

not really sure but i thought they were comparable to i3. review from techreport compare 6800K with 3rd gen i3
