So I'm building my own computer, not buying a pre-built one on like iBuyPower or anything like that. But the one I'm using now is a Gateway AMD E1 Series 1500k, only like 1.5 Ghz speed. But the one I'm building is going to be an AzzA Armour Gaming Case, with an AS Rock FM2A75, with a AMD APU A10 6800k (clocked in at 4.1 Ghz, I'll probably only get 3.8-3.9 depending on the Memory Unit), along with a WD 500 GB HDD Velociraptor, 16 GB RAM(Memory), and a XFS Radeon HD 7850 2 GB video card. I don't know how it'll work, but it sounds like a good setup. If you guys talk about Intel I will seriously freak the fuck out. You pay 500 bucks for a processor that runs at max 3.8 Ghz. When AMD comes out with 4.1 Ghz and is only 150 bucks. The A10 5800k overclocked runs at 4.5 Ghz speed. I know your processor isn't everything, but to me that sounds better than a piece o' shit overrated Intel processor. But, tell me what you guys think.

Clockrates mean absolutely nothing. Especially between different manufacturers.
If you want an A10, a dedicated card is pointless. You'll get more performance out of a i3 3220 with a HD 6680. A10's are only a good option for the very low end. You also don't need 16GB of RAM. The APU's are dependent on fast system memory. 4GB of 2133MHz RAM will do more than 16GB of 1333/1600.
