APU recommendation - A10-7890K

[methulonapex]

Hey guys

Would the A10-7890K be a good long lasting, budget chip, or should I go for something else?

The APU is primarily going to be used for daily usage, such as, surfing, and writing...
I thought about paring it up with an ASUS A88XM-PLUS FM2+ motherboad, and 8GB DDR3 RAM from Kingston

I would go for one of the new Intel Pentiums, e.g Pentium G4600. It will offer better performance at a much lower price, especially for your needs.

for daily usage, i'd recommend the g4560 instead. you won't need the extra APU graphics performance and the g4560 is more capable of gaming if you add in a gpu in the future. also, you can upgrade the pentium to a better cpu while you're stuck to the a10.

If you're trying to do gaming without a GPU maybe, are you getting these parts used on the cheap?

 

but wait for AM4 APUs before anything, FM2+ isn't worth buying

 

Otherwise Pentium G4560

I have an A10 7870k and it has been quite stable. Make sure you have fast memory (2133mhz) in dual channel to get the most out of it. I use my PC for gaming and used the APU on it's own for some time before getting an R7 250 to use in Dual Graphics, and it worked very well. For everyday, you should be well served.

Do not buy into fm2+ man. Go with Pentium or wait for am4
