trying to build this comp i got before for 1 of my other kids, but having probs :(

oh crap lol, too full of cold to realize half the stuff at the moment hehe, i didnt know the mobo had onboard graphics. so i should go for the a10 over the a6

better onboard GPU, better CPU. It's a better choice if you can spend the money towards it.

Note that if you want to use crossfire (adding a dedicated GPU that will double the graphics power), you will have to use a HD6670, and check the games you want to play will have good crossfire (XFire) support.

Slightly over but has 8GB of RAM, you will be lending some to the IGP for games ;)



THe A10 is on offer for just a few quid more than the A8 (A10 has better graphics). Unless you want to drop to the A6 which is a dual core for £50.

The mobo I used allows overclocking, has sataIII and USB3 and also has a HDMI output.......does he have a little HDTV he could run the rig through.....save on getting a screen?

i think this will be right for now, all they play is bloody minecraft lol and some wow and few other mmo's @:)
 

You're welcome bud. I put that video up to show the A6 APU gaming without a GPU. As I said the A10 has better graphics and is a quad core not a dual, as it's priced so close to the A8 it makes sense to go with the A10 whilst on offer.

Im sure your boy will love the rig. Have a great Xmas, any problems you know where to find us :)
