If you are going to use a discrete GPU, then an APU is a 'waste' of money. The Athlon X4 860K is almost half the price of the A10 7850K and has the same CPU power.

This is a good budget combination for the FX 6300,

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($129.43 @ Vuugo)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($64.99 @ NCIX)
Total: $194.42
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

you can overclock the CPU well on that board. It will not take a FX 8300. The Gigabyte board you were looking at is fine to; just more...

The three modules in the FX are somewhat more powerful than the two in the A10. Those two CPUs use different motherboards, so what motherboard do you have? At leas one won't likely run on it, maybe both. I assume you mean the A10 7850K (No such thing as a A10 4850K)

Why that A10? Why not an Athlon X4 860 or 880? They would be cheaper.

Do you plan to use it for gaming?

For the Athlon, this is a good combination:

The MSI motherboard you selected lacks heatsinks on the VRMs and this limits overclocking. AMD CPU need to be overclocked to get the best out of them. Budget accordingly.

I am sick of people on here not reading the situation that the user is in. I'm also sick of people trying to sway people into using intel all the time. Every time I see a post about AMD CPUs or AMD GPUs other users always try and get them to move over to intel or Nvidia. (Hirosp) clearly said but with a slight spelling error "I don't want intel" then explained why
" because is so expensive 4 me ( i dont want 13)"

If this was a New build and someone is looking for advise then yeah you could recommend an i3 with a 750ti but.....it all depends on the users limitations, if they are working on a small to medium budget then they will not want to spend £120-£400+ on an an i3,i5 or i7. If they have the money yes, recommend it. It also depends on the users intentions with the system. Are they wanting to game on the system, render videos, graphics work, tv game box, server, networking etc. People really need to think before they post.

I'm not an AMD, Nvida or intel fan boy, I'm simply sick of people trying persuade users to swap or switch just because they have it or think its better without explaining or showing evidence why!

Sorry but it had to be said.

I know your upset but you didn't need to say that, the reason why I told the op to choose the fx6300.
It does indeed do a great job with windows and apps like 3dmax blender, hand break, F@H -folding- and so much more.
The GTX 750 or GTX 960 coupled with that six core, you can game, watch movies, schooling and work and keeping a stead flow of things going.
That A10 apu is good for gaming, however its not that great as a cpu alone, a haswell celeron or haswell pentium would be a better bet.
I've owned a few apus and I see how they perform in and out of game and sadly its not worth 130 dollars or 130 euros.

Check out the specs per page and you'll see why I chose this.

Most games if not all of them need that cpu cache to store things on temporarily and chuck things back and forth.
Big as windows 8 and windows 10 is, its needed, this is why I stick with amd, not a fanboy.
If it performs well with a good gfx card its all good to me.

Yes even though I know who you mean't but it didn't need to be said.
Just leave well enough alone, some people will listen and others won't, the people that do listen will benefit from the information.

I think it did need to be said, or at least saying it is fine.

The OP is not in the USA, I'm assuming, and they let us know what they wanted as a choice and they gave us a reason (without a reason, I would have asked why) to suggest that they are informed. As the thread were to develop, if the budget and location seems to indicate that the i3 is a sensible solution, I would have suggested it, just like I suggested the 860K.

Buy Intel...... used. When your in the Sub 500 range it's cheaper just to get a used prebuilt so you don't have to buy windows. Just make sure it has a PCIe slot and buy a PSU.

https://lynchburg.craigslist.org/ele/5644512717.html
https://greensboro.craigslist.org/sys/5597483050.html the i5 in this one alone cost 190$

Found this by my house in 8 mins of looking on cragslist. Quad core for 150 bucks. Slap a PSU and amd 480 or 970 in there and chill out with a 400$ box. So just look for some used PC's in your area

If I don't want intel because is so expensive 4 me ( i dont want 13) is true, then they are not in the USA. The FX 6300 is about $100, the A10 about 105, and the i3 about $110. (Unless they believe the two cores of the i3 to be hugely inferior to three modules of the FX 6300)

We need to hear back from the OP.

How i said in my country intel is expensive
And Fx an a10 was good options because they are cheaper than intel so for the moment I will select Fx

Intel maybe are a good processor but Intel are no good for long time 'cause I use i73630qm and now is giving me troubles
Maybe because is from laptop but the frist year was very good and now is going like an old pentium

You'll be mighty pleased with amd fx6300 or the amd fx6350, while it is true amd fx series is outdated by the lga 1150-lga 1151.
The higher end intel quadcores and hexacores perform better, just do your home work between the cpus and compare them.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6350FRHKBOX-FX-6350-6-Core-Black/dp/B00CLBZAHY
If you can find this and get it delivered to your country this would be your best bet.
I say 4 or 5 years top it'll meet todays gaming/work-school-office needs.

Good luck.
