I am getting a new cpu and wanted to know what suggestions you have for the new phenom x6 amd thuban and i5 2500k 4 core. I was not planning on using it for too high graphics (not for gaming, very low band gaming) and wanted something that would work well preferable with a hdmi output to it so I wouldnt need to get a video card. I am from Canada so links to newegg.ca would be appreciated. Thank you (also a preference choise between these two would be appreciated.

Do you have the rest of the components for either system?
Are you planning on spending only $100 on the system?

No no I have some components and are willing to spend up to 500 for the rest, but my budget for motherboard is 100-150 and need an hdmi output

I would suggest the AMD A8 APUs. They are quad cores, reasonably quick, have great built in graphics and most have HDMI output. I'll link you to a few.

That would be a solid, cool, quiet combination. Great for medium gaming (720p) and perfect for an HTPC.
