Are you planning to crossfire the onboard GPU and the discrete? I wouldn't rely on it so much.

Something like these will do you better:
EVGA GeForce GTX 950 02G-P4-2957-KR 2GB SSC GAMING, Silent Cooling Gaming Graphics Card-Newegg.com

Hi,
What is a apu ?
Do you mean cpu ?

 

[Mellon Head]

An APU is an AMD CPU with a GPU built into it. Same as the Intel offerings with integrated graphics. AMD has a technology where you can pair the APU's graphics capabilities with a limited set of compatible AMD GPU cards to have Crossfire performance. Crossfire with two discrete GPU cards works much better and offers more performance. The Crossfire concept is the same as SLI.

sorry for no relplys i have been without internet for a bit just got it back up

Marginal at best. You aren't going to get any good results out of an APU/GPU pair like you would using two GPUs and putting them in Crossfire or SLI.

The R7 240/250 are lower capability GPUs. They are ok for home theater use or basic computing, but if you want to do any gaming beyond Minecraft, you need something a lot more capable than those cards. A single R9 300 series Radeon card will give you an order of magnitude better performance than the 7850k + R7 240 you're wondering about.

But hey, it's your money.

what would i need to play games like mad max just cause 3 doom far cry 3,4 but i dont mind turning res down to 720p i only want above 30 fps anything above that is a bonus what would i need for that

 

[RoasterMen]

R7 250 feels right for 720P medium-low

 

[dipdapslap]

do you think i can get more bang for the buck for the £148 of the a10 7850k and the r7 250
thats is 8980.1 Philippine Peso roastermen

 

[dipdapslap]

i think
Athlon X4 860K and


R7 360 Graphics Card (2 GB, GDDR5)

what is the same price and looks to have better performance as you see from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj2o5xaJJoI
and also i wont have to mess around with all the "crossfire" setup

 

[dipdapslap]

what do you guys think a athlon x4 860k and r7 360 graphics card 2gb gddr5 would be like

 

[RoasterMen]

Go with it. You've found yourself a better choice.

 

[dipdapslap]

Thanks what do you think the performance will be like with doom just cause 3 ect
