There is no point of recommending older generation Trinity and Richland based APU here which has already reached the EOL and if OP is gonna opt for something like 7870K or 7770K, the total system cost will be higher without any real life performance advantage. Performance wise FX-4300 is slightly more powerful than 7870K because of its higher clock speed and 4MB L3 cache. Similarly, the IGPU of 7870K is more powerful but lacks the dedicated Graphics memory. So a R7 240 coupled with a GDDR5 memory actually offers same performance of the 512 SP based 7870K's iGPU which lacks the dedicated memory channel and higher speed memory.
