I'm building a PC and I have picked out everything, but I wanted to see if there were better options for a CPU/Mobo. The budget for these two parts is pretty low at around $140, or $150 AT MOST. Currently I've picked out an AMD A8 6600K and an Asus A88XM-A from Microcenter because they have deals when you buy a processor and motherboard. This build will not have a GPU so I used an APU, but i'm not sure if that was necessarily the best choice. Are there any better options for a CPU and Mobo out there that I haven't found.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I think either Pentium G3258 + H81 motherboard or AMD Athlon 750k/760k/860k + FM2+ motherboard are going to be your best bets. If you don't have a video card at all, the A8 would be your best bet.
