Energy efficient light gaming build, CPU AMD 7890K

[User Name:]

I want to buy/build a nice and light gaming machine.

Budget is about £300 just for the base unit, not including O/S etc.

I've got my eye on a AMD 7890K for the CPU, does anyone know what this is equivalent to in terms of graphics card? For example is this better than a HD 6670.

Main priority is power consumption needs to be around 100 watts and playing games on 720p medium settings is acceptable.

Also consider an Athlon 5370 - 25w and a gtx 750ti 75w

Can you not wait a few months?

The releases due in the first half of 2017 will likely shake the market up affecting pricing and the bang you can get for your buck.

Definitely not the right time to be buying an AMD APU, although your 720p goal is definitely achievable on that CPU (power consumption might be pushed a bit higher with CPU and GPU parts stressed).

If you can get a 7850k-7890k cheap, it wont do you too wrong.
