AMD A10-5800k + 2GB HD7870 = ?

[aTBasic]

Hi there,

First time posting but I really need help with this... was going for a low-budget system that would be for general use but for playing games also....

I saw the A10-5800k APU listed and I'm struggling to comprehend this not been keeping up with stuff for a while so I'm completely oblivious to this stuff.

Basically I'll cut to the point, my question in a nutshell is can you run this AMD A10-5800k APU with a seperate dedicated graphics card (such as the HD7870)? Or do you have to use the onboard 7660D graphics that come with the APU?

Confused.com, sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question, I wouldn't ask if I could find out this information anywhere else at all...

Thanks for reading

You can add a dedicated graphics card with that CPU,but due to possible "bottlenecking" I would consider upgrading to a better CPU,which would depend on your budget.
If you post your budget and games you intend playing I'm sure you will get some suggestions on a spec.
