Yeah, possibly the best investment I've ever spent.

 

I can post some pics if you guys want some.

The bottleneck must be so real.

It actually runs fairly well. Maxed out settings on everything, 60+ fps, etc.

Too expensive? Too beast?

[John Luxston]

very good build man.the a10 has best amd graphic compared with the good graphic of the 970gtc from nvidia

[ForsakenLive]

Why do you want that CPU?

I don't believe you for one second, I'm sorry

 

Proof please

It's alright. 

 

I guess I could record things.

Good Ghz. Planning on switching to an intel-ready motherboard tho.

[MblaZe7run]

I don't see beast with the A10 in there, sorry. I love AMD to death, I really do, but I firmly believe that my G3258 OC'd would perform better if it weren't for the dual-core, no HT capabilities of it.

[ANewFace]

What's the point of an APU with a 970? And you actually build this or are you planning. I hope you are planning, because this is sad if you built it.

GHZ doesn't matter. IPC is what matters. A 5ghz FX 9590, is killed by a 3ghz 5960X

The AMD is not for the GPU. It's just for the CPU.

[hoot.]

This post just made me shed a tear.

... Why an A10.. And then a 970. Why.

They can't be in dual graphics

[Fluffinator]

are you new to computer's? shoulda consulted the forum thats an awful build so much wasted money.

[MblaZe7run]

We're well aware. An i5 would blow that out of the water. I'd recommend building with Intel to start off with, to save you money down the road. Had I known the performance difference when I upgraded to my 8350, I would have gone with an i5 or i7 build, hands down. The only thing I've noticed my 8350 handles better is virtualization, which is something I do heavily. And then, it still only performs marginally better.

Eenope, never had and never will.
