i know this topic has already been posted before but, i still don't have the answer i need

this is my build

Processor : Amd Trinity A10-5800k x4 Processor Socket Fm2 4.2ghz Black Edition
MotherBoard : Msi A55m-e33 Fm2 Pcie Ddr3
Memory (RAM) : Apotop Memory 2x2gb Ddr3-1333
PSU : Vortex Power Supply 600watts
Hard Disk Drive : Toshiba Harddisk Drive 500gb Sata
ODD : Lite-on ihas124 Optical Disk Drive Dvd-rw Sata Black

it's cheap, but still, it works.

please help me, because of the other guy's same reason, everyone is telling me differently on what to get. this is my first build, and it's hard to admit, but i'm a noob when it comes to these sorts of stuff.
although i'm on a budget, i can save enough to buy some upgrades for my pc.

thanks guys!! :D




Side note: planning to upgrade to a new psu, motherboard(fm2+ socket when the new line of amd processors roll out) ram and HDD soon :D

#1. Get faster ram if you are even thinking about using the GPU portion of the A10...

You could try without a dedicated GFX card to see where you stand.

If the price difference of the 6670 -> 7750 is $20 or so, I would get the 7750 or even spend a few $$ more and get a 7770.

It all depends on the games you play, resolution and 3D settings...

ram will be upgraded to 2x8gb ram 1866 ddr3

currently, it's working great! and that's without the gfx card, i'm just future proofing my system build

I would wait and get a gfx card when you are unhappy with the way it games.

There are always new cards out and the trickle down effect means you get more bang for your buck as prices drop or as new hardware comes out...
