Posted June 6, 2014 the a10-6800k right now is best bang for your buck. athlon x4 is another choice but generally id say the a10 in the case of your gpu taking a crap and you need some sort of decent graphics.

Posted June 6, 2014 Author ^- This. Are you going to get a dedicated GPU? If that's your case take the Athlon and tell as the budget for the GPU *uh ignore me, didn't see that he only browses, then take the APU* well ill take the a10 then dont want to spend exta on a gpu Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/162802-what-apu-do-i-get/#findComment-2167006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
