All fanboys aside, has anyone got any experience with the A10-7890k?

I am looking for a budget (£500) PC & am undecided whether to go with an APU or just an i3 6100 & GTX 950.

I am not too experienced with speccing a PC so hoping someone here can help? Will be running 8gb ram (1866 ddr3 with the APU & 2133 ddr4 with the i3).

It won't be used for anything too strenuous, mainly WoW Legion when it's out, occasionally some other MOBA games & general everyday use, potentially BF1 when it's out, how would it hold up with that?

Thanks in advance xx

the i3 with the 950

Thanks, any particular reason?

Am i just distracted with the fact the 7890 is newer & I thought using both would be better for a budget build?

I've got Steam Machine with;

A10-7870K
F2A88XN-WIFI
8GB 1866MHz
MX200 250GB SSD
Antec ISK310-150

Had to buy a;

NH-L9x65

To quieten the fucking fan down, stock cooler was awful.

Going to get a picoPSU too to get rid of the trash, hot, noisy PSU it came with.

I play, Dota2, CS:GO etc.

I'd recommend getting faster memory, 2400MHz and you have to flash your mobo to get the most out of the APU.

AMA.

Way better CPU and GPU.

>>56161192
you could possibly get an i5 bundle deal for that then save up for a current generation gpu while getting by with its onboard

Don't buy APU shit, you'll regret it.
>>
Think most people can agree cheaper CPU and GPU is better than an A10. Look for bundles and stuff.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

A10-7890K has the new, good cooler, unlike A10-7870K. So he probably wouldn't have to buy any.

For APU, get 2133 MHz DDR3 if possible (if it isn't costing too much). Dual-rank (double-sided) modules help, they virtually add one speed bin on top of the frequency.

Processor over graphics.

get gtx 780, and i5.

thank me later.

>>56164212
100% meme
gpu over CPU actually if you're not a fucking idiot
>>56161192
never listen to advice from /g/

>>56161192
I got a corsair carbide 01, it's gigabyte mob 8gb ddr4 2133 gtx960 2gb 1tb ssd disk drive and i5 6400 all for 395 pounds from a lovat builder for 500 he would do a 970 please don't get jewed and spend 500 on an i3 and 950

>>56161192
mediocre at best. I love AMD, but that processor really isn't very good.

If you're only playing MOBAs you should be okay, but beyond that it's just not worth it.

>>56161396
has great advice. Faster memory is great for APUs because of the built in GPU.

This is basically what I'm saying, in more or less words.
