AMD A10-7700K - What graphics card?

[bigc55]

What's the best way to go with graphics with an AMD A10-7700K? Dual graphics with the recommended R7-270 or a higher end card turning off the integrated graphics in the 7700K? What would be a could card to pair with this if I went with a dedicated card turning off the integrated graphics?

Thanks.

Dual graphic is weak, if you want performance, get a high end gpu, if you can't afford it, then dual is your best option, but don't get your hopes up

we need a budget and a resolution. Then we can help, but yes single graphics would be best.

1080p would be nice... around $300 (but always good to get more for less)

GTX 960 or R9 380. Not worth going much higher than that with your APU.

Would I be better getting and athlon X4 860K with a stand alone GPU?

Yes, but for a gaming pc you would be best avoiding that platform all together.

Going for an intel platform even if its a i3 would be much better.

Already have the FM2+ motherboard so trying to make the best out of it...

I would advise you to sell it. But if you must keep it then the 860 + and gpu would be the way to go. Also a good cpu cooler and overclocking will help a lot with the 860k.

You'll be sinking more money into it though.

if you could get an extra $50 together (perhaps selling the A10 and board).

You may need new ram it depends on what you have and whether it'll run at 1.5V
