Hi I'm helping my friend with a budget music production computer and stuck on the processor. I told him an i5 would be the best but it's out of his budget. He was looking at a phenom but I think the fx6300 would be better, but it doesn't have integrated graphics so I don't know if it will work properly without a gpu. Also how good is the a10-5800k?

No it won't. It needs some kind of GPU to output the video. Without a GPU of some kind, integrated or discrete, there is nowhere to plug the monitor into.

Look go in for a A10 cpu u ll get great gaming performance as compared to only 6300 with integrated motherboard graphics


AND THE SYSTEM WILL WORK WITHOUT A GPU this is beacause motherboard itself has integrated graphics so it has a port for connecting the monitor

That depends on the motherboard, and these days they almost always don't because of the rise of GPUs integrated into the processor.
