alright, so i got a a6 5400k dual core apu for free, along with a mother board and basicaly everything i need for a build minus a case. i looked and seen that the box for the apu says i can hybrid crossfire with up to a 6570 2 gig card. im wondering if it would be worth me buying one so i can crossfire it with the apu, or would i be wasting $55. please let me know. it will be on a 1080p screen, more than likley, and its going up for sale, so i wont be the one using it. just wanted to know if it would be worth it for resale, or am i better off not getting the card. with out the card ill have 30 in the build. with the card ill have about $90 into it.
 
well, when i market it, IF i get the card, id like to be able to advertise it as a mid level gaming pc. if it wont live up to that standard, then id rather not get it, or market it as that, but more so of a htpc computer for media entertainment use. dont want to sell the buyer short, and/or waste money in an area where i may not get it back. BUT, if it can hande 1080p with medium settings, then id be willing to risk it. specs of machine so far are....a6 5400k. antec 350 watt psu, 6 gigs of ddr3 1600mhz ram. seagate 1tb hard drive, dvd burner, front memory card reader, wifi, and basic case. so far all i have is $30 into it, so resale would be great. how much should i ask for it. i know retail the parts alone come to around $400. if i bought the 6570, how much could it go for?

I'd spend the extra bit on a 7750 which will be much faster but limited by the dual core before getting the 6570, that would make a good gamer for cheap. Otherwise I'd probs leave it without one and call it an HTPC or family computer.
 
i think ill leave it alone and sell it as a htpc/media pc....that way im only out $30. what would be a good starting point to set the price? any ideas? thanks again
