Advice needed - a10 5800k or discrete card for gaming?

Ldown1
Go to solution Solved by RespawnCake,

Don't even think about it twice.Yeah athlon x4 cpu is almost similar to a10 (it's a10 without iGPU) and it isn't bad at all,but problem is that onboard gpu in APU sucks for anything more than light gaming. 

HD 7770 is leaps and bounds better than 6670d in A10 5800k. On average you'll see about 30-35 better fps.

When you look at this note that 6670d is much weaker than desktop 6670,and it belongs even below 5570.So yeah you'll see 80-90% or better performance.

As you can see i'm building a low budget pc. 

 

1st choice is A10 5800k + onboard gpu(i think it's 6670d) and 2nd choice Athlon x4 740 + hd7770.

 

So far i understand that athlon x4 and a10 have almost the same cpu but is hd7770 discrete card worth it over onboard one?

2nd choice is roughly 80-90$ more expensive(almost breaking my budget) so is it worth it that extra money,how much fps increase would i see on average?(tech noob here just starting to learn).

 

Will be playing on 720p monitor.Can it run bf4 multiplayer? Thanks a lot

1st choice is A10 5800k + onboard gpu(i think it's 6670d) and 2nd choice AMD Athlon II X4 760K + hd7770.

 

So far i understand that athlon x4 and a10 have the same cpu but is hd7770 discrete card worth it over onboard one? DEFINITLY

2nd choice is roughly 50$ more expensive(almost breaking my budget :) whew :)) so it is worth it that extra money,.

Increase: 300% and more

 

Will be playing on 720p monitor.Can it run bf4 multiplayer? It can run multi even run in 1080p high.

Where are you from? What is your budget?

Instead of an Athlon maybe look at a cheap fx cpu and am3+ motherboard, that way you can upgrade in the future if you want to.

Edit: also a10-5800k's have 7660d graphics not 6670d

I'm from Croatia,and yeah i have some other priorities with money right now but i just want something that would run bf4 at 720p 30+fps.

I will also buy:

 

   fm2 mobo

  8 gb ram ddr3 1600mhz

500hdd blue 7200rpm

psu seasonic s12ii

cheap case

 

(so i can't get lower than that lol)

 

I wanted to get a 10 5800k but i'm worried it couldn't run bf4 beyond 30fps and some other newest next gen games.Seems that getting a HD 7770 would be major performance booster and it's defo worth it. 30-35 fps more is a lot,i could even play bf4 at medium settings and get 60fps as average which is great.

In 1-2 year i will probably sell this pc and build something powerful that can run 1080p with no sweat.So for now it will do the job on 720p:-)

where  do you buy, what is your budget for PC

even athlon 740 and 7750 would be better than 5800k
