Hello, i recently got a hd 6570 ddr3 garphics card as a gift from a friend of mine who upgraded his gpu to better one.
I want to buy a low cost pc for around 200-250$ without dedicated gpu and throw that card in.
I need to decide which CPU to buy for that PC, my budget for CPU is around 70-80$.
What i m considering atm is an A6 3500 from AMD and G840 from Intel, which would be a better buy with this GPU.
I think that G840 is better in terms of processing power, but if i m not mistaken a A6 3500 has an HD 6530 which can be crossfired with HD 6570, if that is true i will probably get the A6 3500. Main thing i will be doing with this PC is playing skyrim @ 1280x720p.
I will overclock both gpu and cpu if possible.
Also if someone can recommend a good mobo for those CPUs it would be nice.

G840, that will leave you with more options later on. You could crossfire the 6570 with the AMD however the processing power is lacking and wouldn't last into the future.
