APU's

Are APU's dependable; I am not "fanboying" Intel but I have never owned one for myself. I know the current gen consoles use them, so the must have some level of reliability. (I have heard rumors of them being awful).

Motivation is where, and what you make of it.

they are alright for general pc use, but I wouldn't buy one to play AAA game titles with.

FX line is old at this point, I'd look else where, if you could find one for cheap I guess it'd be alright. But you'd be better off going with an Intel Skylake processor in till the AMD Zen cpu's come out anyways (they may have potential).

A bit off topic, but you seem knowledgeable, so I will ask while I have the chance: I need an i5 that will run current triple A titles under $200, any suggestions?

It was completely stupid when it came out (unlike the regular FX chips) and it's just more so now. Run away from it at all costs.
