A question about AMD Fusion and Intel Sandy Bridge.

[chatnever]

Hello, I'm gonna buy a new PC next year in order to play games, watch HD movies and for my studies. I've decided that my PC must use a discrete graphic card, so, Can I have any benefit from the Fusion/Sandy Bridge?

My budget is about 450-500 USD.

Thanks for any answer and please check for my grammar/vocab.

I'm from vietnam.

A6 and A8 Fusion APU's can be crossfired with a Radeon HD 6450, 6570 or 6670. You can't combine the Sandy Bridge graphics with anything.

if you're going to the discreet route, skip the fusion apus and get an i3/15 2xxx.

get any 6xxx/550 (or better) as a discreet card.

I'd rather go for Bulldozer not Fusion since you'll be using a discrete card. Fusion is just a general purpose cpu.

I think the important factor here is cost. What can you get for 450-500 USD?

Well, what can we say, next year is going to be in a years time......
You'll need to check again with us and remember to check into the Entry Level Gaming PCs or Budget PC Charts we have here nearly every month. Then you can choose to mix and match whatever you feel is within your budget to get and decide on an optimum rig.

Oh, thanks for all. I think that I had better prepare 600 $ up, so my choice is wider
