Hi guys, Im planning to buy this parts next week but i wanna make sure this parts are compatible with each other

Cooler master k380
Processor FM2 AMD Trinity A10-5800K 3.80GHz (4.20GHz Turbo) HD7660D
Psu Corsair VS550
Motherboard MSI FM2-A75MA-P33

video card is not yet on my budget. I will appreciate your help thanks in advance

Looks all fine to me.

If your getting an A10 APU, getting a dedicated video card (except for a 7660 which it can Hybrid Crossfire with) is a waste of money. If your going with a dedicated GPU, you would want something like a Core i3 or FX-6300 based rig.

I'd at least get 1866 mHz RAM on APU systems. Here is what I'd look at:

sorry for the noob question but what is a dedicated video card? and i don't have plans doing crossfire too expensive..

 

[manofchalk]

Dedicated GPU = Graphics card.
Graphics card or GPU works in general conversation, but when APU's or just integrated graphics on the CPU are involved its best to make the clarification. You may also see integrated graphics referred to as the iGPU.

What I was referring too with Crossfire was the APU's ability to "Hybrid" Crossfire. That APU has the same GPU inside it as you would find on a HD7660 graphics card. So if you were to get a dedicated HD7660, you can run it in Crossfire with the iGPU.

ahh ok i get it. Can you help me pick a better video card for my build

Vga Sapphire HD 6570 1gb DDR3 128bit
Vga Sapphire HD 6570 2gb 128bit ddr3
Vga Sapphire HD 6670 1024mb 128bit gddr5
Vga Sapphire HD 6670 2gb gddr3
Vga Sapphire HD 7750 1GB 128bit GDDR5

these are the only one i can afford

 

[manofchalk]

Again, as I was saying, getting a dedicated GPU on a build like this is defeating the purpose of an APU. The only benefit to APU's is their strong integrated graphics, getting a dedicated card defeats that and leaves you with mediocre CPU performance.

If your going with a dedicated card, I would change the CPU and mobo to this.

Go with the 7750.

The 7750 is the best and should give equivalent performance to the Hybrid X-fire. To boost performance, ditch the APU and get an Athlon X4 640 or 750k and a cheap AM3+ board. Put the savings towards a better GPU, like the 7770 or maybe the 650ti Boost. (Or the weaker 7790)

 

[philipot08]

im from the philippines and athlon x4 is not available at the shop near me. The only available is
Processor AM3 AMD Athlon II X2 270 3.40GHz (Socket AM3) do you think its good for gaming? and i will just invest more on graphics card.

 

[Thanatos Telos]

Nope. How about a Phenom II X4 965 BE?
