Hi everyone,
I recently built this rig:
MSI FM2-A75IA-E53
A6 5400K
Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1600MHz CL8 DDR3 ram
be quiet system power 300w
2x Samsung 840 120gb SSD (one for os and main apps and one for games).
this rig isn't bad, but I can't play battlefield 3 even on low settings (I can play other games - singleplayer mode - at 1080p). Well, I don't really want to buy all components again, so I just want to upgrade the CPU to the A10 6800K soon to be released and to G.Skill TridentX 16gb 2400MHz CL10 DDR3 ram. I will buy the 2 ram sticks tonight if the upgrades I intend to do will actually bring a noticeable overall performance increase... but if not I'll go for an AM3+ build (Asus Sabertooth 990fx rev2.0, fx 6300...) but you know, the cheaper the better.
either way, the current cpu and ram I will use for a new HTPC.. for movies and other stuff this apu is awesome... does what you want it to pretty well...
so how better will my rig perform with the A10 6800K and 2400mhz ram?
