My budget is $115 for the processor and I want to keep my FM2+ motherboard. I will add a dedicated graphics card in future (R7-260X). I am currently using A4-4000. Which of these three is better?
Price in our country: A8-7600>A8-6600K>A8-5600K

In more detail for you my friend:

Well the A8- 6600k is pretty good itself and can compete with others before (Of course) but it's not the best bang for the buck as it's and A8 model, Gpu and cpu together if i'm not mistaken (APU), and of course makes it run hotter with these two combined together into one chip.

The 5600k Doesn't meet all the requirements a user would expect an APU to have which would be the following


  • Performance
    Graphics power
    Stability


    • Meaning this APU is the odd one out, like the ugly duckling i guess. :D

      Moving onto the A8-7600 (The winner)
      It's more superior to those before of course, otherwise it wouldn't be, A. More expensive and B. More efficient in its ways. This APU hasn't got the K at the end as you can see. Well it means it's not unlocked i believe, meaning you can't overclock it if you wished to in future. but the "K" versions are unlocked and can be overclocked, but i guess you don't want to overclock if your buying an APU in the end.

      A8-7600 is faster than the others listed, and Yes. More expensive, but if you have the budget money to get it, then do so. Simple

I am still thinking which one...A8-6600K has higher clock speed (4.2ghz) and is unlocked compared to A8-7600 (which is 3.8ghz) but I am also considering that A8-7600 is more energy efficient (it can only consume 45W compared to A8-6600K which is 100W)
