I know I can run it, but do ya'll think I can either max it or run low/med and record/stream? Desktop or laptop?: Desktop4LyfeMonitor resolution: Not sure yet, Pro***ly going to buy a 1080pCPU: 750k X4 Amd 3.4GhZ, but I shall overclock to like 4.0 or so pro***ly Graphics card: Radeon R7 260x, 2GBRAM:* 8 GigerzSSD? (Yes/No) Nope

If you are still reading this, one final (pro***ly) question. Would this setup be able to run BF4 or crysis 3? Even on low?

Emm i'd be looking at a minimum of 250 GB

So my plan in general sounds solid?

I guess we'll see. If the processor is still good but the GPU is outdated, then i will get a dedicated one. If they are both old then to hell with it, get a new APU

Oh I didnt actually realize that motherboard affected performance that much, I figured it just connected everything. So if I was to do this now, I would pro***ly go with... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113333 APU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104384 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132045 Motherboard. For a grand total of ~$250. Not bad at all. then I would upgrade in this order PSU to the one you said RAM to 8 GB Motherboard to something better SSD APU Go from there

Ahh cool. I edited my last post (:

Oh so the one you sent me (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113333) is good because it's a Richland? Oh ok nice! And also, whats the difference between the $90 Motherboard and the $57 one? I only need 3 USB's (Joystick, Mouse, Keyboard), and I don't use all ya'lls fancy stuff

Yeah, I'm not sure, remember I'm a hardware newb. If you could do that I would much appreciate it

M'kay cool. Also, with that motherboard you posted, it seems people are complaining it does not support Kaveri/APU. Is this the case? If it does not support the A8 I want nothing of it Edit: For your ram edit, that makes sense. Will I notice much difference between 4 and 8 GB if I was to do that? On my current setup with 6gb I run TS, facebook, Stream music and play games (BFP4F/World Of tanks atm) and it seems fine

Wow thanks! Will my PSU right now run it, or will I need to upgrade? I don't mind if it's not perfect, my current setup is much less then perfect. Also, would my wonderful 2 GB of corsair ram run until I can buy the 8GB, or is it incompatiable? If I could save that $90 on ram, I could practically buy this tomorrow. EDIT: Also how can I identify if X part will work with Y part (Motherboard is the big one). I have some friends who have spare gaming stuff, and I would like to sound less stupid if I ask them if they have anything they could send my way

Cool, sounds good. Read up for my IDE question^^^ So basically what I'm getting out of this is for ~$300 I can make a computer that runs basically any game at at least 25-30 fps, at least on minimum? Also, is the PSU i posted on the other page compatiable with this setup?

Nice! and for the HDD? And will this setup allow me to record dayz at low/med and 30 FPS? that would rock And it is IDE, but I might invest in this for now, $12 isn't much, and i'll upgrade to SSD after a while

Nifty, so are they going to move on slowly and make super hardcore, like top of the line processors and GPU's together? What would you say I would run this game at with that setup? EDIT: It currenty has a WD2500, nothing special, but it has true win7 on it which is a plus. Is that compatiable with the motherobard?

So would it almost be better to switch over to i3/i5 or and Nvidia? Or would this work for long in the future? Also, I'm stupid. So essentially, if I bought the three things you posted, I could slap (well, not exactly) them in, and run most/all games at respectable settings?
