Oops, ;)

It's just a general home pc. I do play a lot of minecraft, and my current machine struggles with some of the bigger mod packs. (fTB etc)

If you are planning to get a dedicated gpu I wouldn't go with the APU cpu you have chosen. It is more suitable for gaming with the integrated gpu. You could have dropped the SSD and get a better GPU like the HD 7750

I looked at the 7750, I thought I read it was crossfire compatible with this APU, would that be a good way to go?
