i want a casual gaming rig with a quad core chip, and i'm leaning towards amd a10 5800k, i don't have large enough budget for a discrete gpu, and honestly i was happy with the performace of my sapphire 4670 gddr3(its dead now)
so if a10 can performe equally or better than 4670 then it's perfect.

guys suggest me a rig, and also provide your inpute on sata 6gb, and how hot a10 5800k can get.
A friend of myn have a 5670 gddr5, he might sell this in next 6-8 months, i might buy this if i need to.
smc quoted 8k for the amd cpu, i was thinking buying a board for 5k and 4gb 1600mhz ram for the remaining 2k
Thanks:)
 
How did your CPU conk ? Did you test it ?

How old is the CPU ?

If in warranty, wont it be replaced and you can get yourself a new GPU in the budget ?
 
ps. which ram should i buy??, corsair vengeance or Gskill ripjaws??, both are for around ~1900rs.
 
ASRock has an FM2 motherboard priced around 4k (see flipkart).

Note: for the A10-5800K to perform optimally you need to go for minimum 1600MHz DDR3 RAM ...... anything lower and it "under-performs"
 
^^thanks for the link,, and i'm not going to overclock it, but might add an after market cooler just to keep it cool.
 
are 1600mhz rams going to run at 1333mhz normally??
i've read online that to fix it one have to enable xmp profile, does gskill ripjaw/corsair vengeance have compatible amd profiles??(total noob here)

and whats the reason you guys usually recommend gskill ripjaw over corsair vengeance??
