Gaming laptop it has a 7850 in it, i7 sandy bridge, but selling it now never travel with it anymore.

Same reason I sold my laptop. With my desktop I never used it anymore and I rarely travel now. If I travel I'll just use my 3ds or vita.

I did some research with his guide
Mine? Because no where in my guide do I mention R7s or APUs.
Since League of legends only uses two cores, you could've spent $70 on the Pentium G3258 and got 50% higher per-core performance (boosting LoL performance), and still have nearly 90% of the multi-threaded performance for any application using more than 2 cores. It's not as though your configuration is going to be terrible, but I'm just saying with some reallocation and keeping specific games in mind, things can be optimized. This quick configuration comes out to just $12 more than yours after rebate, and would give you 50% higher per-core performance on the CPU and 50%+ higher performance in graphics.
However, I am selling that same 270x shown in my link. If you can cancel your GPU order, I'd sell you my 270x for $110 shipped. Includes original box and accessories.

I just played ac2 for a few minutes. It turns out texture pop in is not a new issue for ubisoft

PC games have never been Ubisoft's thing, but they still keep cranking out those ports. At least Bungie knows they're shitty at making PC games. Ubisoft is in denial.

Ubisoft literally makes PC games that don't run any better than on console.

That's alright 260x is plenty and it's already packaging can't cancel, and I'm not just playing LoL in reference to your cpu discussion I'll be playing D3 and DayZ, five nights at freddies, and a few more here and there.

No troll but that is a horrible $500 build. I seriously feel bad that you wasted your money.

I followed a mobafire build guide for moba's and most of those parts were very common and well reviewed so it's whatever.
Will be plenty for what I need and it was only $450.
The AMD A8-6600K black edition was only $94 and is very well reviewed and easily OC'ed to 4.5GHz some even stretch it to 5 but no need for that I'll probably just OC to 4.2ish. 5 eggs average review out of 60 reviews. Team Vulcan RAM is 5 egg perfect reviewed as well. The mobo is 4 eggs and the 260X GPU will run LoL on Ultra at 100+ FPS and Diablo 3 at over 80 FPS.

DayZ is going to buttfrick that set up. Good luck playing with 15 FPS
Posted on 9/1/14 at 7:17 pm to stout
I didn't get it for DayZ and may not even play DayZ at all, so that is fine. I got it for D3 and LoL.
DayZ is very poorly optimized anyways.

Why didn't you get an A10?
EDT: I've owned every A10 APU from Richland, Trinity and Kaveri.
RAM RAM RAM will be your biggest issue. Don't worry about tight timings but SPEED.

Besides Far Cry, and the only reason is because the property uses a version of CryEngine.

For League of Legends and Diablo 3? A8 is plenty.

IDK about D3 @ 1080 but at 1440 I would have to turn down settings on an extremely OC'd SteamBox.
You are very CPU at times in D3 because the servers are soo bad out times, you can make up frames with higher compute power. That is one difference I noticed from using A10 APUs and 3770Ks, 4670Ks and 4930Ks.

I can run D3 at 1080 on my laptop at high settings, it should be fine.
