I'm just saying to be future-proof the Llano makes ample sense the Intel HD 3000 graphics get pulverized by the HD 6550 / HD 6450 class GPU included in the Llano chipset. Now I'm not being argumentative but I think its worth it, with Windows Vista the jump over XP's Luna GUI was manifold I shudder to think how Windows 8 might come out.
LIano platform is not futureproof... FM1 is AMD's LGA1156... Its gonna get EOL'ed when AMD Bulldozer Based Fusion APUs would come out... If you dont care much about power consumption then i would advice you to buy AMD Phenom II X4 840 ~ 4800 + Gigabyte GA880GM-USB3L ~ 4200 + Sapphire HD5670 512MB ~ 4000 = 13000
A8-3850 ~ 7500/-
Gigabyte GA-A75-S2V ~ 5900/-
Total=13400
Costs less than the Fusion Combo and offers more performance ... AMD Phenom II x4 840 would easily pawn A-3850 in every CPU task and the HD5670 would easily pawn the ondie IGP of A8-3850 by a comparatively huge margin and also offers some more features for post-processing videos which A-3850 ondie IGP lacks and the motherboard that i have suggested ( credits to mrcool63) is AM3+ so you would be able to upgrade to Bulldozer processor in the future...
I know that you dont require a GPU as you already have one but people who are suggesting Liano Combo should advice the combo that i've mentioned...
Just my 2 cents
