Hello Peeps,
Appreciate it if you guys can recommend a good CPU, Motherboard and Ram combo on a $300 budget. I'm not much into gaming, will usually be running Photoshop, Visual Studio, LightRoom, some audio recording using Audacity and I would want to view Youtube vids in HD. I'd like to also have USB 3 on the motherboard.

So far I'm considering AMD A10-5800K Apu so I won't have to buy GPU later. And Intel Core i5-3570K, more expensive which gives me not so good choices for an MB and RAM and I would have settle with integrated video until I save up for a GPU.

Thanks in advance!
