[SOLVED] Should I buy the amd a10 6800k?

[tadic_josip]

Should I buy the amd a10 6800k to go with my g1 sniper a88x and my gt730 nvidia 2gb ddr5? Is it a good setup for a low buck?

Budget?

I wouldn't invest into such a outdated APU.

 

[tadic_josip]

I dont really have a budget, i found it on a local website.
What does apu mean, is it good for gaming?

 

[kerberos_20]

well if u buy that cpu, it has gpu built in which has same performance as your gt 730
otherwise, is that the only part u purchasing? at which price?
whats your current (old) cpu?

It's a CPU with essentially a GPU built in. They are decent for light gaming but that one is fairly old so you'd probably be better off using that GT 730.

Depending on budget I'd probably opt for something like the 2200G, B450 board & 16gb (2x8gb@3000 or 3200mhz) instead as it's better then the APU and your GT 730 plus the CPU itself is far better then that APU.

It comes in a set, the amd and the g1 sniper, about 70$ used

I dont look to play the best games, maybe gta V and some other games.
Is the apu able to use my graphic card or his own bulit in one?

You'd use the GT 730 as it's better then the built in one.

GTA V still requires a pretty good system for smooth gameplay. Are you buying those parts from a site or local market? If on a site post it and see if we can find something better for the price.

Is it going to be smooth with this one?
It is a local market,not much to offer..

Apparently it can handle GTA V @720P on the lowest settings around 30 FPS although I can't speak for the authenticity of the YT vid (there are plenty of fakes videos out there).

If your using the GT 730 you could probably get some better performance.

Do you think I should just buy a new motherboard with the same socket as my i5?

That 3570 is far better then the A10-6800K so I wouldn't get rid of it. If anything I'd try to find a board for it and then buy a 2x4gb DDR3 kit for it.

Thanks man, I will probably do that.

I'm not sure what's available where you are but I've found some generic Chinese motherboards online for older motherboards for cheap and they work perfectly fine. Ended up finding one for a friend for $59 USD on Newegg for a i5-4590 that works great, super simple and not much of a BIOS but for the price it couldn't be beaten.

I just found a Asus P8H77-M 1155 socket and 2x4gb ddr3 ram, is that good?

I tried buying ram cards and none of them worked, it says the motherboard is able to hold 32 gb of ram, nothing works..

ddr3 was pretty much compatible, do you still have those not working ddr3 sticks?

I sold them to my buddy, they work fine with his motherboard
