It would be better if you buy a CPU and a GPU, you would get better performance.

Something like a Athlon 860K + R7 260X.

What is your budget?

 

[Jayz666]

Hi thanks for getting back to me, My budget is around 400 pounds but could go up to 500 if its good.
It's not for me it's a friends pc and was intrested in the apu's have read a bit on them something about the ram at higher speed is beter if i am right but not to sure.

Thanks Jayz666

500 quids will get you a hell of a good system, Should be able to do at least High settings at 1080P for quite a while. (Nearly 4 times faster than any desktop APU currently available in today's market.)

+1; This is a solid 500 quid build for the price that will handle anything you throw at it!

 

[Andrei123]

...And what's the point of that build ? Gaming , modeling ... ? It would be easier for us to help you out if you tell us what he's gonna do with it

 

[Jayz666]

Hi it's for using the internet and facebook but before you say it it's not for me for a friend who likes to play facebook games.
Thanks for your help

 

[Andrei123]

Just go with logain's build even if he doesn't play too demanding games but I'd recommend switching out either the i5 with an i3 or even with a g3258 and the 270 with a 750 ti / r9 260x / r9 265 and put an ssd in there , there will definitely be a performance increase
