Gotta get a new mobo anyway. And yea I'll get an 8 GB 1866Mhz (not included in budget) if I get the APU. Guess I should wait for Ryzen then since both of you guys says that.. So the A10 7700k is out of the way now. Thanks!! also..should I really wait for Ryzen or go with my first plan? I can't get a GPU now if I buy an AMD Ryzen.

Hey guys! Building a budget PC is really a headache when you already have a PC So...my parents bought me a pre built PC 4-5 years back Specs : i3 2100 Intel DH61WW A Kingston 4GB DDR3 Seagate 500GB HDD Mercury 450W (I think this is some local PSU...not gonna keep it anyway) Never had a GPU, so..was living a life within 20fps, finished some games including Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 2 and Just Cause 2...but all the games at the next level are almost non playable So I decided to do something for it. I have two options: 1. Upgrade the current system by adding a dedicated GPU 2. Get an APU now and add a GPU later If I've to add a GPU to my i3 system, I'd buy the Radeon RX 460 and if I'm gonna get an APU, it would be the A10 7700k (I'll add a GPU later when i can afford it) The games I'll most likely play are: Assassin's Creed Series, GTA 4 and 5, Resident Evil 6 and 7, NFS Series, Star Wars, Witcher 3, Middle Earth, Far Cry Series, Just Cause 3, Crysis Series and Tomb Raider. I'm okay with 1280 x 720 at medium settings and 30+ fps (It would be a blessing lol). I use my PC mostly for Gaming and sometimes for Video Editing(Rendering time doesn't matter...just want the job done). My motherboard is not working now, so I gotta get a new mobo anyway. I'm from India btw and my budget is 200 USD (Mobo + GPU/APU) Since the APUs have a good future and the above mentioned GPU performs better than the iGPU, I can't get a balance between these two. I really need help with this asap (rebate for the Asus rx 460 ends on 28th..so.) Please help! thank you in advance
