Hello TPU,
***EDIT***
AMD idea scrapped, Going intel....Sorry for those who offered help, it was a matter which was out of my control, but I'm happy it turned out this way. Anyway, it's My nephew Colby's 1st PC...it'll be an i3 4xxx
GPU...7870 Ghz edition..(got it for $99USD NEW on Ebay
the rest is in the process of ordering.
I am going to be building a "from scratch" PC by the new year. I have decided for price purposes to go with AMD. MY issue lies here.....I have a good bit of experience building PC's based on Intel CPU's , but I am JUST short of completely ignorant when it comes to AMD's chip's, and more importantly they're capabilities. My main concerns are these....
This PC will be used for 1080 gaming of the FPS/action variety, and web surfing.Highest settings are NOT important, just as long as it will run playable frames, i.e. 35+fps (ballpark).
I have been leaning towards a FX, or NON APU AMD chip, and a dGPU, since as we ALL know that is the Safest bet when building a mainly gaming rig.However, I have been noticing that people are CLAIMING decent framerates, on 1080p games while running some of the "higher end" AMD APU's.
So My question finally.....is this for real, or a simple matter of people posting misinformation?
Can I actually invest in a 12 core APU(A10-7850K Kaveri) for instance, and get reasonable Frames in say....Battlefield 4?
As far as the rest of the PC is concerned, I really have no questions, since it really doesn't differ from an Intel build once You get away from the Processing unit's.
So in Closing, Can it be done, with a High end APU to achieve decent frames @ 1080p?
I'd really love to hear from an owner of a A10 with ACTUAL input to offer, and preferably no opinions from those with google answers, Since I can google on My own
Thanks ahead of time for any and all constructive replies.
