Cheap APU Crossfire system

[Guest]

Im looking to make a cheap AMD system with a APU and GPU to use Crossfire with to get maximum gaming performance. I want it to be at under $500-$600. Any suggestions?

Think you'd be better of with proper system and not crossfire

It would have to use Piledriver stuff and it's not good nowdays I would wait till Ryzen APUs come out not the rebranded PileDriver APUs and Zen APUs are the ones to wait for

If you want maximum performance go with the cheapest ryzen and a single card with your budget. Forget the APU and forget the Crossfire

If you go with a pentium/R3 and gtx 1050 ti it would be better for the same amount

1. APU are shit nowadays, even the newer ones

2. It's called DUAL GRAPHICS, Crossfire is between graphics card only. It's not available for all GPU so you'd have trouble finding it

3. You'd be better off with regular Ryzen 3/5 or budget Pentium G4560 and a 1050/1050Ti gpu for maximum performance

"APU" and "maximum gaming performance" don't belong in the same sentence.

 

Grab yourself a Ryzen 3 1200 and a GTX 1050 Ti. If funds don't allow for that, an Athlon X4 950 or Pentium G4560 paired with a GTX 1050 would be decent substitutes. Any combination of those parts will outperform any old A10 build.

Yeah, I agree with everyone else, I don't think that is possible for the Crossfire part for your budget. Some graphics cards don't support Crossfire and the ones that do are more expensive. Go with Pentium G4560/Ryzen 3 and 1050 Ti w/8gb of ram.
