CPU any good for Beam

[h=4]AMD Quad-Core A10-6700 processor with AMD Radeon HD 8670D graphics. It will also have a zotac geforce gt 640 2gb DDR3 in with it. 8gb of DDR3 ram in the comoputer? Windows 8 64 bit[/h]

 

u have a good cpu i think but that gt640 is a no no
i have a gt630
i can barley play the game i would recommend if your on a tight budget to get a gtx640 in £ they a about 150.00

also maby get a I7-3770K thats what i have.

 

If this is a brand new, scratch-built system and you plan to get a discrete GPU I really wouldn't recommend putting the extra cash down on the APU. I'd get an FX 6300 and an AM3+ socket moherboard instead, and put the extra money saved toward a better GPU, like a GTX 750Ti or an R7 265. The system would be marginally stronger overall in this configuration for a very similar price. While Heterogeneous System Architecture seems promising, very few consumer level programs and virtually zero games currently take advantage of the technology. If you plan to get an nVidia GPU you can't even use the integrated graphics in a crossfire setup, so the main selling point and cost factor of the A10 (the "good" integrated graphics) would go almost entirely to waste in your build.

That said, if you already have an FM2+ socket computer currently in your possession, I don't know how much better you could do than the A10.

 

Don't listen to him about getting a i7 i have a i5-4670k + GTX 770 that combo runs most game perfectly

 

yes but yours is a 4670k
mines a 3770k
and it runs most games i just have a shitty gpu

 

Don't get an APU with a discrete GPU, but there's really no need to get an i7. Any recent Intel i5 or AMD six/eight core CPU will work fine.

Why would get he get a CPU that is two generations old, runs hotter than Haswell, and is usually quite expensive?

 

Frankly, he had to ask whether a gtx780 is a good card or not, that says it all...
