One of the videos is called "what is your minimum FPS necessary to play?"
and since it's in portuguese, long story short, it's 128 FPS.
I do own an a10-6800k which I used to play the game without a dedicated GPU.
It wasn't enough, even with the CPU OCed to 4.8ghz, at that resolution you were aiming at. RAM was at 2133mhz
I did get a gtx 560 and now I run the game at a higher resolution, however it's not optimal because the CPU can't really handle it.
I can say you would need an APU that is 30% faster than a 10-6800k if you want to play it competitively on tick 128 servers. If you are just going to play it casually, which I don't believe you are, since it's makes no sense to play ONLY cs go and no other games, you should aim at maintaining 128 FPS at all times. A 6800k should be OK but not perfect.
By the way, if you are playing on a CRT monitor, you should aim for at least 85fps for 85hz refresh rate so you don't get health problems related to staring at a CRT with low refresh rate.
Sincerely you should guide yourself by this post of mine, because not only I know a lot about CS GO, but I also bought an APU to play only CS:GO, just like you, at the same resolution.
