Looking for GPU to crossfire with the AMD A10-6800K APU

[Noah_7]

This is my first computer build so I'm a bit of a noob and I'm looking to build a budget gaming pc. The CPU that I plan on using is the AMD A10-6800K. I have also read that faster ram makes this much better for gaming so I chose G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory. I'm also planning on using a MSI A88XM GAMING Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard.

Is getting an APU like this with fast ram a good option for budget gaming or would you recommend something else?
How much better will the system run with a GPU crossfired?
What GPUs can I crossfire with this system and which would you recommend I use?

I would avoid crossfire to be honest. That system using the iGPU can do light gaming fine so is a nice option. If you want to upgrade then just get a decent discreet card to run on it's own.

Due to it being a Richland apu, you can only do the dual graphics crossifire with the old HD 6570 and 6670 cards which I don't think is worth it.

If you have a bit more money to spend you might be better looking at a discreet cpu and gpu (if you want an AMD build the newer Athlon 860K is a good option, alternatively an Intel build with a Core i3 4000 or 6000 series part is a good starting point for a reasonably cheap gaming rig combined with something like a GTX 750ti or R9 380 gpu).
