Building a gamers PC

[Mixalis Zoff]

Hello, I'm trying to build my own PC especially for games. I have a limited budget and I was down to these parts at first:

Motherboard: ASUS A88X-GAMER http://

CPU: AMD A10-7870K 3.90GHZ BOX

http://

RAM: KINGSTON HX324C11SRK2/8 2400MHz DDR3 HYPERX SAVAGE
http://

I liked the motherboard very much because it contains PCIe 3, plus supports 2400MHz DDR3 RAM I chose the cpu just because it is FM2+ and the card has only socket for FM2+, but searching around the internet I've not heard the best for APUs so I'm wondering if this is a good approach for my new PC.

For Hard drive I have a kingston hyperX ssd and a HDD, and for graphics I currently have a low-end graphics card but with this MB's PCIe I think I have a lot future choices I'm thinking GTX-750

GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX750 : http://

I'm new at building PC from scratch so I can't wait for your suggestions, plus if the A10 is worth it. Thank you in advance

[strike]The A10 isn't worth it when you have the GTX 750, You're basically paying for an inbuilt GPU and a somewhat weak CPU.

Not worth it because you can just buy a more powerful CPU for the same price and reuse the 750, and will beat the 7870K by a huge margin.

What's your budget for the parts? And what parts do you already have that can be reused?
I'd be glad to help where I can.

EDIT: Just realized you didn't own a 750, My apologies.

But APU's are really only an option if you have a really tight budget.

I don't have an exact number. I want to spend more or less 400Euro for motherboard cpu and ram. I have a 650W PSU that I think i can reuse it
and the ssd I mentioned. For starters I'm willing to keep my graphics card too it is a low end Radeon 6700 series I think. If I can't use an APU what other cpus can match the FM2+ socket of the Motherboard?

Take time to look at this, might be a good rig for you!

Do you think you'll be able to afford a graphics card upgrade in the future if you go this route?
