Hey, Logan and Wendell, I've been watching your videos since discovering them last year. Your "Kill Your Console" video inspired me to build my own budget gaming rig.

I've chosen the A10-6800K Richland APU, and I was wondering if you knew of a good motherboard that would be a great match for it. Also, the Radeon HD 6670 can be configured in Dual Graphics mode with the APU. For those in the forum unfamiliar with this term, this is essentially Crossfire between the 6800K and Radeon card. Are there any newer Radeon HD cards that support Dual Graphics mode with the 6800K?

Thank you in advance, to you and Wendell, and anyone in the forum who might be able to answer my questions.

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - $56    

I'm pretty sure the 6670 is the highest card you can xfire with.

My budget will be around $700 to $800.

I'm not looking for anything overly fancy, but what I do need is...

  1. Dual Graphics compatibility
  2. The BIOS must support Richland APUs
  3. 4 to 6 SATA ports
  4. 1866MHz or faster DDR3 RAM support
  5. USB 3.0

 I have everything else already selected, such as a Corsair 600w 80 Plus Bronze Certified PSU, the Cooler Master LAN Box case, G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 RAM, and 1TB Barracuda SATA drive.

Thanks for the help.
