Hi, I just wanted some people's thoughts, views, input and opinions on what CPU I should go for with my new build that will be AMD based later this year in November or so.
I have been thinking strongly of just getting an FX 8 core. The better one clocked at 3.6Ghz base since for $200 bucks and most likely less by the time Im ready to build you can't really beat.
BUT, I have also thought about getting a new Trinity APU + FM2 motherboard for around $100 bucks or so.
The A10-5800K at 3.8Ghz base APU.
You probably need a bit of information from me as in what I do with my computer to speak with intelligence to be able to guide me, lol, so I use my computer for basically....
- Web browsing
- Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Illustrator
- Itunes
- Movie watching
- Music converting [FLAC to Mp3]'
- Video Converting [example - AVI to MP4] [I wont be doing this a ton, just once in a while]
- Little to no gaming since I use my playstation 3 [still want the opportunity to BE ABLE TO in the future]
So, some may say I don't need a powerful processor but I am trying to future proof myself a bit and the more I think about it, the more I find the new Trinity APU A10-5800K to be right up my alley? I mean, it's not 8 cores, but it is Quad Core at 3.8Ghz with the graphics built in and IF NEEDED, I wouldn't mind buying an additional graphics card for $125 or less since I'd be getting the motherboard at a good price and Im sure the processor won't be above $200 because Llano right now is only $115.
So, let me know your thoughts. I hope I gave enough info. I appreciate it. Thanks! : )
