Will be used for gaming. I building a pc that has the a8-3850. I plan to eventually upgrade to the bulldozer CPU but my computer I have now is basically dead.
wtf you getting an a8 and a graphics card, that makes no sense. if you plan on upgrading to bulldozer soon you need to get a board compatible with them. also just go with some cheap am3 cpu, like a AMD Athlon II X3 450 Triple Core Processor AM3 3.2GHZ , just to hold you off for a few months. ive found 6850;s for 110 or 6870 for 140, my best for best cpu under 150
If you are using an a8 processor, it has integrated graphics. if you use any computer with the a8 as a processor, it would be smart to use an ati radeon hd 6850+. the 6850 is from 160$+, so be prepared to spend a little extra cash. it is smart to get an ati radeon 6850 because when paired with an a8 processor, you can use both the integrated AND the discrete graphics at the same time, adding more FPS.
