I wanna build an APU system

[Sinan Bozturk]

A budget APU system. I only care about CS:GO and Dota2 performances.(don't even wanna high settings, high resolution)

CPU - A10 7870K
MoBo - Gigabyte A68H
RAM - Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB(2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR3
(other parts are ready, irrelevant.)

Will this be enough for my games? And if i decide to go for a GPU later what should it be?

It would be good @ 720p and mediocre @ 1080p.

This will do what you want, it doesn't have usb 3.0 though.

Itll be better than that at 720p and 1080p. I ran Witcher 3 on that same APU medium-high at 720p and low-medium at 1080p. Was testing it out for a client.

It doesn't do badly.

Your two games are single threaded and cpu limited.
The A10 APU based build may not be the right one for you.
You may be better served with a G3258 and a GTX750 discrete graphics card.
The nice thing is that you will have a cpu upgrade path to i3,i5,i7.
There are no useful upgrades for a apu setup.
Here are a couple of G3258 reviews,

upgradeable gtx 750 build that will actually do better than an apu
