I can only compare this to my current CPU which runs at 2.5 GHz dual core windows vista 3 GB RAM and gets 100-110 MAX lowest setting 800x600
If you're unsure and not afraid to to pay about $60 more than get the A10

Will most likely max CF at any res -
I don't understand why people just don't go all out right away. You won't have to upgrade for a really long time and you'll be able to play any new game out there with either an AMD FX-8350 or Intel I5 3570K, pair with a good video card, such as an HD 7950 or GTX 660 Ti and you are set for a long time.

computers depreciate pretty fast lol, it is sort of a waste of money for some, i have the money to build a nice one but i would never do such a thing, i see it as a waste -

I didn't include a CD/DVD drive or HDD/SSD because so many people have various needs as to the sizes and such. As for me, I'll be using the DVD drive in my current PC again.

"It will run any game now including any game released in the next couple years.. "
No, it just seems like you have some poor placement skills.S-N-I-P-E-S wrote: »Matt's AMD build
