pick the FX

 

the APU is useful if you don't need a GPU

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

so I'm building an AMD machine but I've got a dilemma afoot, do I go for a FX 8350 or A10 6800? i will primarily be using it for casual gaming, adobe cc and videos watching. i have the money but not sure if i should go AM3+ or FM2+ 

fx 8350 is not a bad cpu my buddy has one and loves it. for 178bucks you cant go wrong with it on a budget

Strange choice

 

But the 8350 is like 1 billion times better than the A10, especially if you are planning a dedicated GPU

 

The 8350 is one of the better CPUs for photoshop etc

I have found the FX series to be good for rendering out videos (my OC'ed FX-6300 would render 1080p in the same time as the actual length of the video normally) so I would imagine that 8-core cpu should be pretty good. Only thing I would say is it will be REALLY WARM when doing so. I used my computer as my heater for a while in the Winter.
