Can someone tell me if this is any good: > AMD A10-5800K APU > ASUS® F2A55-M LE > 8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz > AMD Radeon HD 7000 > 1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s That is for £449
Is this any better? > AMD BULLDOZER FX-6200 > ASUS M5A97 R2.0 > 8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz > RADEON™ HD7770 > 1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s
Much much better, the main problem with the first one was the graphics card. This should run nearly anything
Ok this is £649 so £200 more, can yo please help me trim it down a bit, I don't need it to run ANYTHING just be able to play and record fairly well EDIT: What one is the RAM?
The 8GB thing is the ram, you should be clear at 6 or even 4. If you really want to trim it down more, look for a lower graphics card.
Ok, thanks I looked at these. RADEON™ HD7750 Can't get less than 8 unless i go to 4, want more than 4 to make rendering faster, my mate has 4 and it takes a few hours but on the one with 6 then it takes about half the time

I'd take the original setup but add the new graphics card. If the CPU underperforms than you can just overclock it a bit.
Unless you have a forgiving bios, you can't overclock a trinity APU. Made me sad to learn that. Also, I have an ATI Radeon 7640G and I can run skyrim on max settings.. the main problem comes from skyrim being a 32 bit program and capping at 4G of ram before crashing violently. Seeing as the 7700 is a desktop GPU, I'd assume it's better than mine.
Cut out that bluray drive unless you need it, and get a 7770. Unless you are going to use this PC to watch bluray movies, i personally find a bluray player useless.
it will run any game you throw at it alright. I suggest putting in a little more ram. blu-ray will not help or hurt. you can use it as a reg disc dirve to burn disc's and what not. I don't understand the point of the memory card reader, but thats just me, I've got an adapter for mine that a rarely use. overall it sounds like a decent computer.
