Alright.So i have been happy so far with my a10 6800k.But i'll be giving away my hd7770 to a friend for his own build.
I am in need of advice.On if i should get a gpu(which will be held back by my cpu)Or A new cpu and motheboard bundle.Any suggestions? Really stuck here.
(also my budget is kinda low 300euro at top)
Thanks. Im all ears for suggestions and advice.
 
Solution
Yes. 750w is way more than enough for a 270x. Are you sure you can't afford a 280 or 280x? You may as well get the best you can afford.

Right.
My specs are:Cpu A10 6800k @4.1 stock
gpu:HD 7770
Psu:750W(an okay one.link:http://www.plaisio.gr/ypologistes-anavathmisi/anavathmisi-ypologisti/psu-trofodotiko/Turbo-X-750W-Real-Series-II.htm)
RAM:crucial ballistix 1600mhz(ddr3)

Now.What's bad on my opinion? i want to run everything maxed and lately i've been getting lag spikes.
Upgrading a gpu with this cpu is not a great deal/idea.
Performance feels weak.
I wanna squeeze everything out of my pc.And it seems im having a few problems with that.
any help?

You are not gonna squeeze everything out of your PC for 300 euro. A good GPU alone will cost more.
In terms of APUs, the 7850k is better but only marginally, waste of money in your case.

Now if you want mobo + cpu, that will probably cost 200 euro minimum. Which leaves 100 euro for GPU. No GPU for 100 euros is worth it.



Stick with APU or invest 600 euro. For current games (Far Cry 4 etc) you need a GPU for 300 euro at least. CPU 200 euro, mobo 100 euro. Can reuse your RAM.

Well the 6800k is pretty much the strongest quad core cpu AMD has. Surely it could power a 270x or 280x. You should be able to afford either of those.

The apu itself can run most games smoothly @ 720p. Gaming @ 1080p is asking too much.

Hmm..
still in a dilema.(?)
Wouldnt picking a better cpu help me get everything smoothly maxed?(1080p)
Also.I could find and sell my cpu and mobo i guess.for about 200 euro.and raise some money.
Also could already afford a 270x.
Im freaking out a lot with this crappy apu.
