They are about the same performance, but the FX4150 is a better overclocker.

There is absolutely no need to watercool an mid-range CPU/APU as it won't generate that much heat. Get an aftermarket cooler with good airflow and you should be OK, even for overclocking. Monitor the temperature and don't let the socket temp go above 58C and the Core Temps above 52C.
The CPU won't be damaged until hitting 68C but it wears them much faster at above 60C.

Unless you have the money and don't care about the price, or want to upgrade to a much more powerful CPU in the future. A good water cooler should last you about 2-5 years.

But sure both of the cpu's are going to bottleneck a R9 270

Consider pairing a fx 6300 with a R7 260x or a R9 270.It will deliver faster performance

How is a FX 4150 going to bottleneck a R9 270? Let alone a R9 270X...

A fx 4150 has a lot slower bulldozer cores. Its about 3 years old. So in my opinion a fx6300(which has piledriver cores) should be faster

If you are into gaming then as you may know more cpu hungry games are coming. So buying an fx 6300 is a good choice. It will last you for a couple of years

If you have the budget, an 8320 would be much better, and it costs just 30$ more...

Yup an fx 8320 would be much better. Its basically a fx 8350 with a bit lower Ghz.

R9 270X has great overclockability and is really cheap for a good performance.
the 280 is also good, but costs more and the performance/price goes down a bit.

i need a case for my 4150 build but i have a bitfinix prodigy an im planning on putting the 10 in it since there are no mini itx mobos for am3+ so yea this is what im plannig on getting i already have 1 4gb stick of this ram https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Then for the gpu you should buy an AMD R9 270 or an R7 260x.

Difference-
The r9 270 is faster

The R7 260x its a bit slower in terms of gaming. But it fairs well.(Ps4 and x box one use the same GPU. So its basically a ps4 gpu in a pc)

That is fine, and you still can upgrade in the future as the FM2 socket is still in use.

If you are not overclocking I recommend the FX4150. It's max core temp is 70 Degrees Celsius. Where as the A10 5800x
is 74 Degrees Celsius.

Buy a fx 8350/8320. They are way faster than any A10 prossessor

as the one guy stated the 10 5800k an fx4150 have about the same performance witch i have a mini-itx case so 1 get a fm2 mini itx mobo r9 270 and anouther matching stick of ram an boom just saved money casue finding an i/o sheild is ganna be hard iv fount one but its almost 20$ an itll be coming from the uk so 295 for the parts iv hand picked http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VmfyLk
i just think its ganna be easier to not get a case an hunt a i/o for my mobo

If you do not plan for any near future upgrade, the A10-5800k is the way to upgrade on the cheap.
Its not going to bottleneck the R9 270.

Upgrade the GPU to a R9 280X or equivalent, you will get problems. So by then, you will need to upgrade your CPU/Mobo Again.

The A10 is a Piledriver core. It is a better cpu. As far as overclocking I have one Prime95 stable at 4.6 GHz with a low end Hyper 212 EVO.
