I'm building a gaming rig pc, is this processor decent for this and or should I get the APU A10? because I am getting a dedicated graphics card.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much.But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

well the intigrated graphics part is kind of a waste if you are going with a high end graphics card the crossfire only seems to work on low end R7 250 gpu. I think an fx processor socket am3+ might save you money unless you want something that is 65 watt

It's Great! Put it on a MSI A88XI AC board and it roars pretty good. Great Chip.

This processor is more than decent. It's amazing. I built 12 indentical machines for my office using this processor and everything screams as far as speed. Processes that use to take 2.5 hours are taking 17 min. using all 4 cores.You have to have good software that uses the cores, but if you do , it does an amazing job.

can I ask why you would go with an APU if you are buying a video card? Do you already have a motherboard?

It worked fine for me with a similar setup. Just make sure that the motherboard is compatible and you get a radon video card.

i recommend getting an amd a10 apu 6800k if you want to game. it can run bf4 and metro last light on high settings and since its a cpu and a gpu combined, the speed will awe you! it will cost you 125 but its worth it!

Yes, I have been very pleased with this processor. The only thing to remember is that this unit relies on your RAM for anything gaming related. I paired mine with 8 Gb's of 1600mhz RAM and can run most games on high to max. Photoshop and even video editing should be breeze. Hope that helps your decision. Make sure to take a look at the A8-6600k too! it is the next gen of this unit and its on sale right now. ;)

I have that AMD cpu but, I don't know how well it would suite your needs. Have you tried looking at AMD's website to see the processor's full set of specs? It might provide you more insight.

It is a good motherboard for gaming and streaming videos. I mostly do streaming, but it also depends on the processor (I use an AMD A10), with 8 Gb of RAM DDR3, and also a Radeon 6670. So, it is pretty decent performance, but I think I would look for more muscle to do intense gaming.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

I think this is a good GPU, definitely can get something better, the Rampage is one of the best boards if seen, and great processor, but you might think about setting aside a little money for a second GPU as its not the best there is. I am about to get a second one to be able to run everything at higher settings.

Both of those processors are on the lower end of performance when it comes to current cpu's. Where as the 560ti is pretty high on the performance list. What type of motherboard do you have? Is it an AM3 or AM3+? What kind of gaming do you want to accomplish? What resolution is your monitor, 1080p?

This does not have a 8 core processor. Also Amd is good. but i tend to lean towards intel. i can tell you this.. this laptop renders 3d faster than my friends i7. its a good buy.

It will work with your APU but instead of the on chip graphics accelerator. It will most assuredly give you better performance, however make sure you have an open PCI-E slot and at least a 400Watt PSU.

Preface to say this isn't really relevant to the graphics card as most motherboards have PCIe slots which this card needs for installation BUT: To be honest, this is going to depend greatly on what you are using the system for. This board, in general, looks superb. However, I would advise unless you are doing data creation - application development, music creation, etc. save you money and go with the LGA1155/1150 socket. This, of course, is to say that you are also shopping a CPU. If you already have a 2011 CPU and not looking to upgrade, and can afford this board comfortably, then this looks like a great board to pick up.

Any AMD AM3+ processor. The one I installed is the AMD FX-8370 Black Edition 8 Core CPU Processor (200 bucks from Amazon). If you are going to use a high-end processor like this plus a fast graphics card, be sure and put in a power supply of at least 600 watts . . . 1000 watts preferably.

This is a great processor, which helps with CPU intensive games like battlefield 4. You need to make sure that all of the components you pick are in balance with each other so you don't have a bottleneck. Get a decent motherboard that supports this cpu, at least 8GB of RAM and definitely don't cheap out on a graphics card.

It needs an amd processor that is am3 or am3+. On the processor you are considering purchasing, check out the socket type... if it says am3 or am3+ you are good.

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price

I haven't got mine together yet but this is NOT designed for any heavy video editing or gamers. This is a budget chip with integrated graphics solution. If you edit videos, you should get a separate video card. The A6, A8 or A10 FM2 APU's can utilize dual graphics. The A4, though it is FM2 socket type, cannot utilize dual graphics.

You need a processor that has a built in graphics. Like the A4, A6 or A8. Like this http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Quad-Core-A8-Series-A8-6600K-AD660KWOHLBOX/dp/B00CPLGGWS/ The processor you have is a straight CPU, where as the A4, A6 and A8 are classed as APUs. The processor you have will need a dedicated graphics card to go along with the board.
