AMD A10 5800k vs AMD A8 6600k with asus r7 260x

If you have not bought anything yet, then just stay away from the FM2 platform altogether. An FX-6300 will be better for gaming then any FM2 processor (A8,A10, Athlon X4,etc) out there, and you can always upgrade to an fx-8320 or 8350. No reason to start off with a limited platform.

There's a reason to consider the FM2 platform over the AM3 - Mini ITX. The AM3 platform does not have a mini-itx board so the smallest you can go is micro-atx. I would agree for the price that if one is building a platform micro-atx or bigger for gaming to avoid the FM2 platform.
