Budget build with amd A10-7870K for low-mid gaming graphics. All i care about is fps and running smoothly. The questions if i throw a graphics card later, should i get a R7 250 to dual graphics with the igpu thats in the amd a10 or get a high end R9 graphics card and make the apu stand alone as a cpu
 


any r9 will destroy an r7- dual graphics setup

im at 450$ now starting with the apu igpu .. and will get a dedicated graphics in a month or so .. as soon as i get few paychecks
my build is
CPU: A10-7870k 3.9ghz
Ram: 16gb G.Skill sniper series DDR3
HDD: 1TB Seagate Baracuda
Mobo: ASRock FM2A88x Extreme6+ ATX Fm2
PSU: Crosair CX 600W
um and yeh im not looking into nvidia. i will be going with the R9 380 that Jerdle suggested .. i had that one in my mind with few others

i don't strive for the 1080p ultra settings and all, all i really care about is some games that i run now to run smooth at low-mid-high graphics .. which i believe this build will be able to go high on them .. because they don't require much of specs
but i'm upgrading from my junk laptop and going back into some gaming .. since i took off for a while. all i have now is this acer with core i3-2350m 2.3ghz with intel HD graphics 3000 and 6gb ram. not bad .. but doesnt run the games i play at low smoothly :)

sorry for long answer
