Amd a10

With an apu can you install a dedicated gpu and still use the apu with crossfire?

Yes, you can. For example, with the A10, you can have a 7770 in xFire, but with that sort of rig you will need proper RAM to help the integrated GPU which uses the system's RAM. I am thinking of building my secondary rig around such a platform.

That sounds cool but it doesn't leave any room to upgrade in the future. Does the A10 support 16 or 32Gb or ram max? I think I might also do that.

It is down to the motherboard:

My GA-F2A75M-D3H supports upto 64gb.

Actually, it is a lot more important to have fast and low latency RAM, rather than a lot of it. Also, don't expect wonders from such a setup, even when crossfired, it will only be a mid-range rig.

Which is why l am moving onto a i3 3220 + GTX 560 ti mitx build, have to say the A10 5800K on it's own does a fantastic job, however l am quite keen to play WoT with my 40" TV.

Don't get me wrong, l am a massive fan of AMD, however l had a spare mitx 1155 lying about so decided to build a new media center with a BitFenix Prodigy and the bits from the AMD system, luckily l have found a new home for the 6670 and the mobo + cpu + hsf going to another good home ( upgrade from a Q6600 system ).
