I am going to order the A10-5800K APU and would also like to pair a graphics card with this processor for better graphics. What would be the best GPU?

First, you realize that this APU allows for a crossfire configuration with some brands of AMD low profile GPUs correct? If you are already aware of that, then the next question is, does your motherboard actually support crossfire? If the answer is yes, then great, but keep in mind not all games are designed to run in crossfire mode and may actually suffer performance because of it. I actually just recommend one really high end GPU if you are really insistant on buying a GPU. I can't tell you what cards to crossfire because that is all a matter of opinion. I'd recommend you read reviews on NewEgg and then make a purchase based on that. Keep in mind this APU really rocks for the price it is at, I'd recommend trying it stand alone before buying a new GPU, it might save you some money.

in order take advantage of the dual graphics feature you can pair it up with a Radeon HD6670 or a Radeon HD6570. personally i would go with the HD6670 1GB DDR5 version.

Mine has the AMD A10 5750 processor which means it has a HD 8650G gpu. http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/pages/consumer-notebooks.aspx#7

I can't really answer for the HP a6803W specifically, because I bought this card for a DELL system, but in general, the AMD Radeon HD 6670 is about the best graphics processor you can get for a "lower-end" machine that wasn't specifically designed for gaming and therefore designed to handle one of the seriously high-performance and power-sucking graphics cards. I bought it for my kids, as well, because they complained about the quality of graphics when playing MineCraft. They've been happy with the new card.

Yes, the Radeoj HD 6770 will work in dual graphics mode with the a10 5800k.

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.

You can find all specifications on the manufacturer's website (www.aa-comps.com) for each of their models. Their website is very easy to navigate and the information by product is easy to find. Plus, if you don't see what you need to know, they'll respond to your email or phone questions. The graphics for the model you are interested in are described as "integrated ATI HD 3000". Beyond that, they can help you (while unfortunately I can't). I believe that their gaming computers will have better graphics cards.

I used a 700 watt Seasonic 80 plus. I had a a FX 6300 in a Gigabyte z71 I believe. I love the case. Lots of room. What kind of video card are you planning getting. I had 2 Gtx 550ti in sli my 700 ran perfect.

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

Definitely CrossFireX which is APU (integrated video) working with GPUs like 6570 and 6670 only. No sense to make like dual 7850 here or anything else

You can crossfire it with a dedicated graphics card if it is one of the two... i think radeon hd 6570 or 6750 it will say on the box the cpu comes with. you could also just get a better graphics card which i recommend for higher end games. like an radeon R7. you may still be able to combine the graphics card and the GPU i havent tried yet

The GTX is better except for the noise and power consumption. About this A8 processor being an APU, it is natural that the temperature is slightly higher than similar ones without the integrated graphic card. Still, way to far from being considered risky. This processor is really amazing and it's worth every cent.

Tara, a GX280 Tower will meet your needs without a doubt. I am very impressed with its speed and memory. Enjoy!

I might work, not sure about the on board Graphic being AMD if that will make a difference. Sure you can shut the on board graphics off in bios. If I where really you, I would go with a 760 or 770 if it's in your price range. They even got out a 750 ti boost that is a great card, but I would go with a 760 or higher if it would work on your board. Could ask Evga. I have 2 of those 660 FTW sig 2 GPU's 2-way SLi. They preform great but even I want to upgrade here soon. Hope this helps in some way.

This board is limited to the FM2 socket, which is the AMD "A" Series. That said the AMD A series has many excellent APU's available for a very reasonable price. The A-10 6800 is a super bargain for the price. It is very fast and the on-board APU graphics are very good. This board does allow a graphics card if your prefer. I do strongly suggest not less than 8 gig RAM, though I personally use 16 gig.

AMD Dual Graphics technology for the 7850k APU only works when paired with a Radeon R7 240, or Radeon R7 250 GPU. In your case, a Nvidia GTX 650 won't work.

The A10-5800k was the flagship FM2 socket APU for the Trinity series chips. The 6700 and 6800K are newer versions called Richland. They had better stock performance than their Trinity counterpart and operate in the same FM2/FM2+ socket motherboards. Please note the 6700k is a locked multiplier and cannot be overclocked as easily as the others listed. It also has a lower tdp. (65watts vs. 100watts). The 7850k is the newest and most powerful AMD APU. It is a completely new architecture called Kaveri. The base clock is a bit slower but performance is much higher than the Richland and Trinity apus due to improvements in the chips design. They require a FM2+ motherboard and will not work with a FM2 only board. Each generation; trinity, Richland, then Kaveri, also got more stream processors than the previous on the gpu end. Each with higher graphics performance. If your motherboard allows it, go for the 7850k hands down. If you're on a tight budget and still need a motherboard, definitely get a FM2+ board even if you go with an older lower priced fm2 apu so you'll have the option to upgrade at a later date.
