I am on a budget build and think I will go Team Red. I know Intel is better, but want your thoughts on the best sub $100 AMD Cpu/APU for a HTPC/Workstation. Thanks.

I'd go with an FX-4100 or something with a decent motherboard and cheap GPU if I were going with the Red team.

If going with the Blue team, go with a cheap i3 or Pentium G3258 and overclock it a bit?

It's 2015 why are you recommending Bulldozer? Atleast recommend piledriver.

If near a microcenter I got my A10 7850k with an A68HM motherboard for 110 bucks. In store only. If not check with Best buy if their price match guarantee applies to combos.

There are other APU combos too. A10 is kinda overkill for an HTPC. I use it for my main gaming rig.
