i guess new no over head of open gl and windows removing directx overhead bottleneck, it will exend the life of the cpu
i just had to incorporate gpu, because i wanted to be gaming rig, and luckily the msi 650 had around 30$ rebate or whatever and voila
to put performance into a perspective, it has 384 cuda cores (stream processors, more powerful than GCN cores )
7770 is a little better and overclocks better than gtx 650, but gtx 650 similar or a little better than 7750
well, depends on a game
Btw, even with faster ram in dual channel 5800k(~100$ apu) that has 384 stream processors ( GCN ), is still much slower than 7750 with 512 stream processors.
Not to mention clock speeds.
The performance of the new 170$ amd APU 7850k is similar to 7750. at least on paper. 512 stream proc each
So apus are not good p/p for gaming and are overpriced for gaming, even on low end. this build proves that.
if you could compare high end apu(5800k) to gpu, then it would be under 6670
multithread performance of g3220 just a little bit slower than 740 from amd at similar price point, but since motherboard is much cheaper and newer, and then g3220 has better single thread performance and consumes less power, so i went with it. its also 8$ cheaper.
the msi mobo is pretty amazing, it has solid caps. its much cheaper because it only has vga and DVi. no hdmi. but you use gpu anyway so thats completelly not important, its important that its cheaper.
the case looks really stupid, and it only has exhaust fan. but you know, it has enough vents and space and it was on rebate.
