Its a good build to start with from an upgrading sense. That 970 board will support steamroller and such from what previous experience from Asrock says.

That's $80's less. A 7950 is about $100 more and comes with 6 games instead of 1

Why? Better benchmarks because the better gpu will make up for the weaker cpu in actual games.

Still a good deal.

EasyTomatoe · Nov 5, 2012, 05:01 PM

so did he take the apu and the games? if i read it right that they get free 6 games or something.

He said the FX, because the CPU has a high clock and he doesn't know and what is overclocking, so the FX.
