You don't need new mobo for A10-6800k.

But you do need new PSU.

A 760K is a great idea, i can't believe I forgot about that. And yes, that is the right graphics card, Titanfury. And TBH means "to be honest".

What is your current mobo? It might not support a 760K. Also, for PSU, get a CX600M or CX500M.

That is my current MOBO there. I know I will need a PSU and a GPU, the question is, new MOBO as well? IDK honestly.
AMD A55 Chipset

OK, here is what I found, Will all this work together with the AMD A55 Chipset? If so, this is what im going for. what do you all think?

The total price on that is about $545. Is it all compatible / worth it, or can I get better for cheaper?
 
I know your chipset is A55, but I need the exact model and brand of your motherboard.

Also, looks good. A Hyper 212 isn't needed though as you won't be overclocking worth a damn on A55. A CX750 (and isn't modular) is overkill, get a CX600M.

Ok cool. Ill get the model number as soon as I get a chance and post it
 
I know im posting a LOT of questions about equipment, but again, I am new to all this. Been out of the game for about 10 years. So here is yet another question, and I want to thank you all for being super helpful in my quest to upgrade my Gaming PC to a better one.

I was looking on Amazon and found the following.

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-...e=UTF8&qid=1392201268&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+660

Now, my question is, would this suffice and provide plenty of FPS for gaming? Say maybe DOTA 2, DayZ Standalone, etc.. (I dont play Battlefiled on PC, have a PS4 for that. haha.) Just the simple games and MMO's. So would this one suffice instead of the GTX770, or should i just spend the extra $100 and get the GTX770?
 
I would recommend spending the extra $100 on a 770 if possible. While it doesn't sound like you're doing really demanding stuff, the 770 would be worth it in the long run. The 660 is honestly a pretty low end GPU. It can handle most stuff now, but in the near future? Sorta like a GTX 560 vs 570. A 570 can still hold its ground and run most games on high even though its from 2010, but a 560 has a hard time even with medium settings in demanding games.

Still need that board model ;) Use CPU-Z and press the Mainboard tab.

Ok cool. That's what I was thinking. I may just do that.

I actually haven't got it in yet, it's shipping. Should be here in couple of days. As soon as I get it I'll post the motherboard info.
