hey there, i am trying to choose from the fx 8350 Vishera cpu or the A10 6800k Richland . this build is going to be mainly used for gaming, i am going to be picking up ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB or something around that price range. a good friend of mine tell me to go with the a10 to save some money and you don't really need the 8 core fx cpu, but for only an extra 60$ or so i feel like its worth it. anyway need some help, thank you

theres a link below for all my parts. please let me know if you can see it, if not ill take the time to type out everything, thanks again for any suggestion

The A10 has very powerful integrated graphics and will game on 720p all by itself when set up properly. 1080p is a bit out of it's reach though. I can't recommend ANY A series apu if you're planning on using a discrete video card. There are many better options like the Athlon x4 760k for example for $89 or FX 4300 for $99.

The FX 6300 is usually $119 and is an exceptional value.
The FX 8320 is usually $159 and is also a great value. I actually recommend it over the more expensive FX 8350. They are the same chip, the 8350 is just clocked higher.
