Debating between two CPU's

[Inficard]

I am deciding whether or not to get the AMD A10-5800k and Dual Graphics it with a Radeon 6670. Or should I get the Intel Pentium G860 with 6670. I have heard that the G860 is more powerful but the A10 is quad core so it is good at multi-tasking and new games. I am going to get a 6670 with the card I am going to get. I am also going to get 4GBs of RAM, a CX430 power supply, and a 500GB storage.

A10-5800K + 6670 will suit more gaming situations than the G860+6670. Much more games are GPU-bound, which the A10+6670 slaughters in over a sole 6670.

CX series PSU's arent the most reliable. Try a different one.

If you go the APU route, it'll use system RAM as it's own RAM. 4 GB isnt enough, and over 1600 MHz in speed is very reccomended.

So, which one would be more cost efficient? So should I get 6GB because I am kind of on a budget, and which PSU would you recommend that is cost efficient and reliable, mostly preferably under 500 watts.

Go with the A10+6670 system. It'll not only will it give superior performance, it'll also be upgradable in the future.

Going with 6GB would be a good idea.

Go with the Anteq Basiq 430W.

A10 is definately the more powerfull option. Allthough you'll be bottlenecked by that graphics card either way. The hybrid CF between iGPU and discrete has not been that good. Granted it's been a while since I've looked into it. Driver situation might have improved allready. Anyway whoever told you that G860 was more powerfull was wrong.

But in the comparison, the Intel G860 got higher.

What do you mean? G860 had higher FPS in 1 out of 5 games tested by Tom's.
