The FX 6300 is a lot faster than the A10 and the motherboard is a different socket so they aren't comparable. The GA-78LMT-USB3 is excellent and it has integrated graphics so you can use it until you get the card.

I would suggest a different power supply, though, that power supply is not good. A good 550w unit like the Rosewill Hive 550 would be better. I'd also suggest the 7870 instead of the 660 Ti.

OK, thanks, but why should I get the 7870 instead of the 660 ti?

It's cheaper, just as fast as or faster than (depending on the game, give or take a few frames) the 660 Ti, and it comes with more free games.

The 7870 Tahiti LE/7870 XT would be a better option. It will perform better than the 660 Ti. The 7870 Tahiti LE is essentially a 7900 series card.

r00t wouldn't recommend you a card that would perform worse than the card you were going to get.

Between the two it's hard to say, the 7870 will overclock better and provide slight higher frame-rates. However it's not going to produce higher IG settings compared to the 660.

It's up to you.

The 7870 LE/XT should be a good bit more expensive than the Pitcairn 7870. The price on the latter card has dropped and the 660 Ti's price has as well. The regular 7870 is a good buy again.
