Okay so im looking at buting a new cpu and motherboard for my pc.

The athlon costs $130
whereas the 6800k costs $ 200 (max budget)
i will also need to by new ram, but will keep my fairly new gigabyte gtx650 to go with it

im mainly looking for performance along side the gpu in games such as bf4, dayz and LoL.

so which cpu is going to be better (prices are nzd)\
Thanks!
 
If you want to game on less than 900p monitor and won't upgrade then the A10 is best. The X4 750k is the same CPU as the 6800k, the only difference is that the 6800k has good graphics. With the 750k you need to buy a discrete GPU like the gtx650.

Side note, the A10-6800k needs to have 2133 RAM CAS 11 whereas the 750k can have 1600 CAS 9. This is why:

i already have the gtx650 so which one should i get, they work out at $40 difference
 


Agreed.
Getting that APU with your existing card is basically throwing $70 in the garbage.
