What is the cheapest build that runs games at better than console quality?

I recently decided that the left side of my car was looking to nice so this morning i figured i would lightly rearrange that side of the care using a guardrail. So i may not have as large a budget as i would like for an upcoming build. I'm just looking for ideas for low budget builds i cant quote a budget yet since we dont know how much the damage will cost im hoping it wont impact the budget that much but i would like to have options set up so that i can have something to fall back on.

Here's one that I had laying around on my HDD. Very Cheap andd extremely powerful for the price.

 

AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz FM2 4MB 100W Black Edition £95.26

Are the apu's really viable? What kind of performance do they have?

it does the job pretty good the apu has the graphics close to a 7750

I believe even an A4 can deliver better graphics, let alone an A10. The 5800K is fairly powerful, with its CPU performance between a Phenom X4 965 and an FX-4100/4300. Then the GPU performance is like a discrete GPU. I can't really compare anything to it now, because I haven't researched in a while, but if I remember correctly, you can max out most games at 720p, some at 1080p.

AMDs 'A' series APU's are the bees knees! At least get an A8!

You could probably grab a cheaper case or use one that is laying around, either way, I don't think spending almost $50 on a case for a low budget build is necissarry. Other than that, everything seems solid and I am amazed at how much lower of a price that build is compared to mine.

get the a8 5600k if you plan on getting another graphics card later. you'll save a few bucks and it has similar processing performance.

 

Get the AMD A8 5600K APU. I have it, running BF3 on Medium with 64 players on a large map with 20-25 fps.

A10 destroys the A8 in every way...

There's only one way to find out!

               FII---IIGHT!

 

Please tell me someone gets the referance..

only the Brits amongst us will get the Saturday Night Blurb ref :)
