Yeah I pretty much only recommend 3 CPUs nowadays.

760K for budget
i5 for high end
i7 for extreme

A shame the Pentium and 860K turned out to be crap. The Pentium lags-spikes like hell in most modern games, and no motherboard supports the 860K out-of-the-box, which sucks since it's a good gamer.

The 760K is an Amd right? Just found an Hp 500-329 with this cpu. Is it better than an amd a10-7800? Thanks in advance!

 


It's about the same, but the A10 has a descent integrated graphics.

Ooops! Looks like its a 670k. Any info on that would be appreciated. Here is the link http://computers.woot.com/offers/hp-pavilion-amd-fx-3-5ghz-desktop-4?ref=cnt_wp_1_15. The A10 is the same price and i am having a difficult time deciding between the 2.
