I am torn between 3 PC builds. My profile is mild gamer stream netflix and hulu+ religously. The monitor/TV is 27"
AM2 socket with A10-5800k with dual graphics.
This one seems to be a well rounded performerwith gaming and daily grind stuff like movies office and web browsing. Not sure how future proof the AM2 socket will be. This one intriged me would like to here from someone with an APU build everything Ive seen they either hate or love and only see bench marks. I would like to get some real world experience views.
AM3+ build with the FX8350 and a big single solution card and 990fx chipset. I know will handle games but may be over kill for daily grind. Not real sure how much longer AMD is gonna support AM3,3+ socket.
LGA 1155 with a 3570k and z77 chipset with big single card solutionagain may be over kill but I keep my options and mind open.
My budget is between 800-1500
Current build it rocked when I built it just starting to feel a bit dated.
