Gonna try to keep this short and sweet.
I'm gonna build a new PC.
CPU is either A10 or A8 (still debating on it)
Now for the GPU I'm having a split decision between the R7 360 and GTX 750 Ti. I've been hearing that an AMD CPU + ATI GPU would give me boosts but I can't find any benchmarks to see if it's true. Would like to see what you guys think :)
(Feel free to suggest any more GPUs and CPUs. Trying to build a Console killer but I don't have a good grip on it. Budget stays at around a price of a console, lower is better. I'll only buy the PSU, MoBo, CPU and GPU since I already have the other parts) Thanks guys!!!

PS. I'm aiming for a 2GB GPU, but if it's strong enough 1GB would do just fine :)

Building a console killer? Let's make a console.
And no, APUs aren't worth it. Poor CPU and R7 250 doesn't make a good combination. Even Skylake's IGP can beat it with absolutely no sweat, and that's not good for gaming.
