So you're going for a sweetspot gaming system centered around AMD's APU lineup of processors. But what is going to get you the best performance out of that chip? Is it worth it to upgrade to better RAM? Will that yield better fps? What about a Dual Graphics capable GPU? Should you just instead spring for a full blown value GPU such as the 260X?

We put all of these options to the test in Battlefield 4 under low settings to see what upgrade is best for your budget gaming rig.

Tested:
AMD A10-7850K APU
Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3-2400MHz
Kingston DDR3-1600MHz
Powercolor R7 250
Club3D R7 260X
