you can always crossfire and the build i made for him is very good for the price the new apu's can run bf4 on ultra at 720p with decedent frame rates

Going with a graphics card is better though.

It is the first thing on the tread

My bad. I'm not sure how I forgot that.

Anyway, be sure to use the correct link or things may get confusing. 

 

In that case, it's still missing the ssd and an aftermarket cooler for oc'ing. It also has a worse gpu. What I suggested was a 7870 xt. PCpartpicker just mislabels it. It seems prices have changed a bit. Edits: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2I1ba

The 270x is a rebranded 7870 which is based on the Pitcairn core. The 7870 xt is based on the same Tahiti cores as the 7950/7970/280x.

The performance of the 7870 xt is closer to that of a 760's than a normal 7870's.
