So b I got a new motherboard and it is fm2+. I was gonna get a 7850k as I saw one for 105 dollars but now I'm wondering if I should get the i5 6600.
Should i send the motherboard back and get the i5 and a new board or use the 7850k with fm2+ board.
Looking to game on this pc and I do have a graphics card so I wouldn't be using the 7850ks integrated graphics.

Yes there would be a night and day difference in games.

After you overclock the A10 and run high speed memory you are still not going to quite equal core i3 performance, so yeah the i5 will be noticeably better.

I pretty much do not recommend FM2 because of this, because the absolute best most max you can achieve is "middle-of-the-road" for what intel offers.
