Hello all,

I selected the below processor and graphic card accompanied with 8gb ram to make up my first HTPC which ill be using to game a little( basically more of multiplayer games such as FIFA 16):

  • AMD A10 7870K
  • NVIDIA GEFORCE 750 Ti 1 GB

Please say if the above are suitable for the purposes mentioned above! Thanks in advance!

@molude Yeah thats why i opted for more SYSTEM R.A.M. , but in the past i was told it lacks in computing performance but i guess if i am using it in HTPC build , it should be fine!

The APU isn't really necessary, really isn't even that great of an idea when you've got a GPU. I'd either get an AMD GPU to crossfire, or get a cheaper processor like an 860K and a slightly better graphics card. Even a 2GB 750 Ti would be a big improvement.

In most cases, the graphics card is more important than the processor. I've never played FIFA and can't comment on that, by general rule is that 25-35% of a gaming build budget should go to the GPU, depending on overall budget and the games you want to play.
