Does the Trinity A10 APU support QHD resolution (2560x1440)? I'm thinking about getting one of those korean 27" QHD IPS panels.
 
why not wait for piledriver and get a discrete card? and why get them when you have that rig in your sig?

I am referring to the piledriver chips. And because I'm going to build a very small and powerful HTPC that will not have the space for a pci-e slot.
 
a quick google search did not show much, but I would be willing to bet that they will run just fine on that resolution. Just make sure to get some fast low latency RAM to reduce any bottleneck there. I would recommend 1866 or 2133 for it.

meant a true piledriver CPU, not APU.

But i'd imagine that they should, pretty sure intel HD supports it.
 
forgive my ignorance if this is wrong, but the specs of that case say it is an 80 watt PSU. Isn't that below the call for that CPU?

Nope. AMD A10 5700k calls for 65 watts. Also I might be going with a 160 watt pico PSU if I decide it is necessary.
 
You also have to take into account that you need RAM and HDD, as well as power for the chipset. You will be cutting it damn close with it even at 65 watts.

Yep I know, when I piece together the build I will probably end up getting a pico-PSU. They go up to 160 watts so that will be more than enough power.

would rather have the 80 from antec, and also, really if you look at it the 5700 and the 5800k are the exact same cpu with like .4GHz difference speed and like 40mhz graphics difference, yet like 40w power difference, WTF? and seems like an i3 still may be smarter, unless graphics are a must, then the 5700 should be fine

Yeah i'm not sure why there's such a large gap in wattage. Anyways, relatively powerful integrated graphics is a must, so A10 it is.
