FreeBSD 9.0 for my new Pc

Hello out there.

I'm thinking to buy a new PC with these parts:
  • CPU:
    AMD A8-3870K - 3 GHz - Cache L2 4 MÎ’
  • MOTHERBOARD:
    GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H or Asrock A75 PRO4 FM1 A75 ATX
  • RAM:
    Patriot 8GB 1600MHz AMD Memory PERFORMANCE EDITION DUAL CHANNEL KIT
I want to install on it FreeBSD 9.0. Is there any known problem with this AMD CPU and FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance.
 
As far as I remember, this series of Radeon has from limited to no support. Try searching / asking freebsd-x11 list.
 
Radeon cards up to the 4000-series are supported with the current driver. Anything newer, like the Radeon 6550 in that APU, is not currently supported.
 
It's unknown when Radeon KMS support work will be started. At present, only Intel graphics have it, and it's still experimental. So either add a Radeon 4000-series card (the 4650 has worked well for me), or an NVidia card with their binary driver.
