A8 6600k+HD 6570 or A8 7600?

[Jan Gabriel Boller]

What should I choose? A8 6600k+HD 6570 xfired or A8 7600 standalone? I'm planning to buy this on the next few weeks, any suggestions will help. Thanks in advance.

Dual graphics still doesn't work quite right, but for gaming the 6600k + 6570 would be better, with the 6570 running on it's own. There are better options, though.

For the same $140 you would spend on 6600k+6570, my humble suggestion:

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($73.88 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R7 250X 1GB Video Card ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $143.87
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I already have HD 6570 but in A4 5300 CPU, which I can't crossfire. So I'm planning to resell my CPU and just add money to buy A8-6600k. And I can't afford to buy an AM3 board this time.

The Athlon 760k is an FM2 slot part, you don't need a new motherboard. As long as you're selling your APU, I suggest selling the 6570, too. The 760k+250x combo is significantly stronger than any other option in this price range.

cheers!
