Oh, wait, why did you leave this thread of yours? http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1709872/gaming-400.html

An A10 don't have higher gaming performance than a Phenom II 965BE when both are paired with a discrete VGA card. Plus, if you get an A10 + fm2 system, you're stuck with that CPU and have no way to upgrade, since 6800k is already the last boss of FM2 socket. Getting am3+ mobo ( in the phenom II setup I made ) will leave you multiple choices to upgrade the CPU later on, including the whole FX series: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#s=23&sort=a6

If you don't need an OS then this build should do :

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

I ought that Phenom processor was bad for gaming?

if it is good can u plz tell me what games can I play on what settings what setting this over?

X79 · Jun 23, 2013

manav12 :

Much easier you just tell him what games you intend to play..

manav12 · Jun 23, 2013

Mw3, black, ops 1, minecraft, runescape, leave of legands

Madn3ss795 · Jun 23, 2013

Then the 965 BE will do just fine. Those games aren't very CPU-intensive. Phenom II is currently the best gaming CPU within 100$ right now : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-2.html . Not bad for multitasking either.

I'm sorry but I really don't like Phenom do u know any better CPU ?

The next worthy CPU is the FX6300, which will ask you 430$ in total ( there's fx4300 also, but being 50% worse than a fx6300 but only 8$ cheaper make it a bad choice ):

Lowering the VGA would save you a bit:
