Would the gpu on this be good enough for moderate gaming?

Define moderate gaming? If you're going to get a cpu with integrated, you should probably go intel because of build quality and etc.

Integrated GPU and gaming do not belong in the same sentence.

moderate gaming as in running blockland.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I have a 6620g, it runs blockland max shadows 11 fps. Should be a slight improvement with you having a better APU and a newer GPU.

12fps!!!!

[devildogelite]

I have a acer 60hz monitor witch sucks :\

Pretty much any monitor that is an acceptable price is 60hz. I've never really heard anything bad about acer's quality.

[Perlin Noise]

so
I have $40-55 to spend on a GPU.
Preferably an AMD one but Nvidia is fine
?

[Perlin Noise]

I decided to just keep what I have now and then to buy this later.

Bite my ass.
Seriously, 32 FPS on an intergrated GPU across 3 screens on max settings (Torchlight 2). Sorry for triple post but this must be brought up.

Any thermal paste will do, however I reccomend IC Diamond high density. Highest quality thermal paste, using synthetic diamond.

d'stuff's spensive. I replaced the paste on my card since it was running hot (with a really good paste) and barely changed it but I didn't expect too much change. I guess I need a good aftermarket cooler..

How much DPI do you guys prefer for FPS games? I currently have a 1680x1050 resolution on 400 DPI, need to buy a better mouse soon.

I think mine uses 1600
I don't really pay that much attention though, if it works it works

get an intel processor if you're going to get a dedicated card, no use for an apu if you aren't going to use tr integrated graphics

[Mr.jacksaunt]

You're not going to be able to upgrade that CPU without a new motherboard, and you absolutely do not need a 600w power supply.

stuff CPU, because integrated graphics make no sense if you are getting a better GPU, and get 1x8gb ram instead of 2x4gb because you can upgrade to 16 gb of ram in the future if you are going to use the same motherboard http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C9/dp/B0085IZRSO/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362942696&sr=1-10&keywords=1x8gb+ddr3+1600
