Cheap CPU And Motherboard

Hey guys, trying to help my buddy get the cheapest relevant cpu motherboard combo, preferably a quad core cpu, we just need to keep the cost under $150, any recommendations?  He already has a 550ti SC 2gb card, enough to run most stuff on medium, and really all he needs, thanks!

An athlon 760k with any motherboard that works is a solid option. Would depend on what form factor he wants.

You have to watch out for cpu wattage limits on the (cheap) mobo... 760k is 100W.

I didnt say cheap, I said any one that works. Although for a 760k you would be fine with anything costing 40 onwards.

Good find on that 4300! Not sure im comfortable with that board though

athlon 750k or 760k...any decent moterboard...

can't really say the difference between the 750k and 760k...just get whatever (unless someone has a better idea to explain any true difference)

760k is the exact same CPU but clocked higher by default

I have read that the 750k is trinity and the 760k is richland...not totally sure if it makes a huge difference now...it used to but nearly all motherboards look to have updated.

The 750k is based off the A10-5800k.  The 760k is based off the A10-6800k.  So in a sense, you are correct.

However, richland is pretty much a slightly faster/overclocked trinity.  The performance difference is minimal.

The 750k/760k are actually their A10 counterparts, but they have their integrated graphics disabled and sold at a much lower price.  The 760k is usually only $5 more expensive than the 750k, so I would just spend the extra five dollars and get the 760k.
