opinions about this setup

[Hitalio]

Hi guys, i was wondering what you thing about this setup. It uses an APU combined with a cheap graphics card. I have no plans in overclocking it. I am just trying to play games on 1080p on medium to max settings, with as low money i can spend. (sorry for my english)

 

Mother: Asrock FM2A55M-VG3+ AMD FM2(FM2A55M-VG3+)

APU: AMD A10 6800k 4.4Ghz FM2 X4 Black Edition(A10 6800K) (Paired with an nzxt respire t20, just to keep it quiet)

RAM: G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1866 MHZ Sniper 2X4GB

VGA: Sapphire R7 250 2GB DDR3

 

 

And one last question, how big my psu should be?

What games do you want to run? 

 

Anything that is not ching chong should work for the PSU.

If your going for a Apu then why do you have a discrete gpu? I say ditch the apu and get a 750k instead and get a better gpu(like a r7 260x).

Play every game there might be.. from age of empires 3 to battlefield 4, i just want to get a playable experience and not buy a console....

 

The thing is that i live in argentina, i dont have a lot of places where to buy pc parts, and in the ones that i can, there arent too much stuff to pick

I watched this video some weeks ago, linus explains that the apu can run in crossfire with the same gpu i included in the build

would be better to use a 750k and a r7 260x instead of dual graphics with a apu and a r7 250

There's the issue of cost, you would have to spend more to get faster memory for apu's because apu's would benfit from faster ram(like 2133ram in dual channel), it will give a performance increase if you have faster ram.

(why hasn't any asked?)what is you budget? so we can recommended the best build for your budget.

the problem is... i live in argentina, things are twice as expensive as they are in the usa/canada, i used this webpage to choose the parts http://www.newton-station.com/index.php?seccion=5 (not more than 10000$)
