Thanks a lot for running the tests GenJoe, really appreciate it. KitanaiKoneko I'll take you up on your offer if its not too much trouble, interested to see how a R9 280X will perform on a dual core setting. Trying to build a PC for someone else who is on a budget, their main goal is this game, office, browsing and so forth so i don't really want to get something like 4690k if they don't plan on playing any other game, not to mention their budget; Plus with a G3258, since its on the Z97 platform, can always upgrade just the cpu to an i5 or i7 in the future if need be.

GenJoe it just so happens I actually have a A10-7850k in my HTPC, there is no discreet graphics and since its in a really small case, its not OC'd but I'll do a few tests for you in the morning(need to update the game on it overnight) if your interested in just the APU's stock performance in the game. Thanks a lot again guys.
