I am planning an AMD APU build for my cousin using the A6-6400K and I would like to know what GPU he would need if he is ever going to want to run it in crossfire in the future. and I have another question. How much RAM does this APU use?

Current Rig:
Intel core i7-4790k, EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0, Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1, Corsair H100i, Kingston Hyperx Fury 16GB, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, WD Red 3TB (RAID 1), Corsair RM750, NZXT HUE, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.

You might want to make a post in new builds and planning (post the use case, price range etc)

Crossfire with the onboard graphics? HD 6670 I think, but it's worthless, You'd be much better buying a more powerful card and can't you stretch it to an A8?

I can try. He isnt going to use it for much. I got him into Minecraft and he really only uses his current PC for that. Its some Celeron 2GB ram with some really bad card. He doesnt get more than 5 FPS though and anything is better than what he has. Im new to AMD. I currently dont know much about them since Ive always been around Intel/Nvidia PCs.

Poor guy! Nobody should be playing at 5 FPS. :P  I would try to go for an A8, it's a pretty decent quad core, it should give him playable frame rates on minecraft and the possibility to play many other games. The A6 is not worth it in my opinion.
