Configuration new PC

Hi, I try to create this thread, maybe somebody is expert of PC etc.

I would like upgrade my bad and old PC (bought in the 2010). I'm looking for new CPU and motherboard.

Now my PC is:

VGA: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5450 (very very bad...)
RAM: 1x2GB Corsair DDR3 PC1333 (I bought 4GB RAM Corsair, but my motherboard has a slot burned and I can use only 1 RAM)
HDD: MAXTOR SATA II 250GB 7200RPM

Budget: max 150€, more or less.

I have read about AMD APU A8-6600K, it's a CPU with Integrated Graphics (Radeon HD 8570D GPU), it's good? http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Quad-Core-A8-6...s=apu+6600

Now, my problem is I don't know if buy now CPU + GPU, so I will not use more my old VGA (ATI Radeon HD5450), or spend more on a good CPU now, which will last me a few years, and go on with the old video card HD 5450, by buying a new in a few months (if I can).

CPU's A8-6600K is good? or better buy a normal CPU, without GPU?

And a motherboard, compatible with CPU and my RAM?

Thank you, sorry for my English

Hey noiredeb!

For some reason, as for me, I have a preference for Intel Core CPU associated with Nvidia GeForce GPU...

Anyway, the AMD you're showing here looks rather performant, as it's a four-core CPU with 4.2 GHz for each core (if I reckon well): so it really seems good for a reasonable price.

EDIT: And I've just come across the price in France: Amazon.fr has it at almost 290 € (approx. 360 $)! OMG, this is insane! Buy it on Amazon.com, Deb! It's good actually!

Thank you poisson!

Intel i5 is very good for gaming, but it is 150€ or more too much for me..then motherboard, VGA etc. I know, good PC needs 300/500€ or more.

On Amazon.fr there is also to 80€: http://www.amazon.fr/AMD-AD660KWOHLBOX/d...s=A8-6600K Is is the same? :o I try to buy from France! it is near also to me

Haha! You're right Deb, your link corresponds much more to the one on Amazon.com. There are several types actually. I have been confused.

To the end I bought MSI A88XM E45 mobo and apu AMD FM2+ A10-7700K..I hope well

Do you need that RAM from me Deb? 2 x 2GB sticks.

Thank you Lee, I have 2x2gb Corsair Ram 1333mhz DDR3, it should works, I hope http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vs2gb1333d3

Mobo supports DDR3 Memory 1333/1600/1866/2133

One question: I have to format hard disk when I connect new mobo and Cpu?

Maybe you don't have to. Just start up the old windows and see what it says. It might be able to update your system to account for the new hardware. Such things have happened to me once, too.

@noiredeb does this work ?
