Hey guys, I'm looking into building a computer and I was looking at building a Mostly gaming machine and I'm having a hard time deciding which to get

In canada the A10 goes for $210 while the i5 goes for about $229

the only difference in the build would be the motherboard everything else will cost about the same.

So is it worth the extra 40$to go i5 and use the spare 6670 I have or should I get the 7850k and hope HSA and those technologies take off?

If you are willing to pay 20 more dollars, I'd get the I5 3570k because has better single core performance,can overclock as much as the A10, also is more energy efficient.

A10 is good for having about a 10% higher clock, so for multitasking it should be better than the i5.
