hey guys, Im building a new pc and Im wondering if this will be any good; [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2HX4Q[/url]
I have heard that with the new AMD's A10-7850k APU I will be able to run games at 1080p without a graphics card.
Maybe later I would upgrade to a R9 graphics card.
With that APU you'll be able to run skyrim at around 30-40 frames at 1080p on the medium quality preset. If you are thinking of upgrading to a better graphics card, it would be better to get an intel/fx series processor since the amd's a-series are actually quite weak but have pretty decent dedicated graphics as a redeeming factor.
For less than what you are paying for that A10 you could get an fx 8320. If you wanted to push up a little bit, i'd urge to get the i5 4670/k since it's the best gaming processor money can buy at the moment.
It also depends on what sort of games you are running. For example, you'll probably have trouble running BF4 on that APU.
I recommend a barracuda HDD and a rosewill challenger case. I also recommend you get a CPU cooler later on down the line for overclocking purposes.
As per the performance, it's not going to be anything special by any stretch of the imagingation, but for that price, you aren't going to get a decent enough dedicated graphics card even if you resort to an old phenom processor.
This is better

This is significantly more expensive. You may as well plop a high end 2000 pounds build and say this is better. That's also a bad build considering you can get a better graphics card for the same price or cheaper.
you must have rebates enabled
EDIT: there's no rebates, i have no idea how my build is significantly more expensive
Having rebates enabled would reduce the price not increase it. Your build is significantly more expensive because it costs more.

OP's build is £404 and grandady's is £400
