I have built several Intel-based systems for my friends, most of them not into any gaming. So, a E5200+G31 based Intel-based system was an automatic choice.
Now I am looking to build an equivalent system around the AMD processor. In other words, proccy+mobo shd be within 6k (or a slight increase in price with a huge increase in performance). Problem is i have zero knowledge wrt the AMD line of processors and mobos. Absolutely no gaming will be there, though sometimes it might be used as a digital audio workstation. Will not be needing an external graphics card, though an hdmi connection on the mobo will be a bonus.
Your help will be sincerely appreciated.
