Hi,
I am planning to buy a budget micro-atx computer for my 40" lcd tv and be able to play some recent games at 720P (or 1080P if needed). I am a casual gamer but I might be more into it later.
So my combo choices are:
Choice # 1 : A75 Motherboard + A8-3850 (integrated GPU) + futur Radeon if needed.
Choice # 2 : LGA 1156 H55 Motherboard + I3 540 Clarkdale OC @ 4GHZ + HD Radeon 6870
The A8-3850 is attractive (low $) but I will have to lower the settings on hard core DX11 games.
At low settings, Will it really be noticeable on a LCD TV (720P)?
Will the A8-3850 able to provide enough performance for a futur HD radeon 6870 (not crossfire)?
Do I really need a 6870 or could I buy another cheaper model to do the job?
I am undecided. Help me please.
Thanks.
