No, it's fine, but you'd be MUCH better offer getting an AMD Athlon x4 760k/860k and then an R7 250x (or better). The ONLY reason to get an APU is if you can't afford a cpu and discrete gpu any time soon. 

 

The psu is fine though.

Hey guys thanks for the rapid response but I thought that I could crossfire the apu with the gpu or what should I do?

An X4 760k + R7 250x will beat any APU + gpu Crossfire setup.

Whats your budget and location? Does that budget include an OS/monitor/peripherals?

Hmm well I already bought the apu :/ do you have any suggestions on what gpu I should get?

So what components do you need? just a gpu?

Yep just a gpu

You have two choices as far as I see it....either get the best gpu you can afford and then upgrade your cpu down the road to match it's performance, or get a gpu, which will match your cpus performance.... 

 

For the former, I'd get an R9 280/290, and for the latter an R9 270.

Thanks the one and only :) I'll take your advice and buy the best gpu first then I'll save up and buy a better cpu

BTW do you think my rig can play like the new cod and crysis 3?

It depends what settings you're looking to get, but you should expect R9 270~ performance at best as your cpu will hold back anything higher. CoD should be playable at decent settings while Crysis 3 will be quite a bit harder.

sorry just one more question do you think I will be fine without the gpu and use the pc? Because it will take a while to buy the gpu
