i'm looking for an upgrade on my stock Q8300 to something newer and the price of the A10 5800k and a decent motherboard to go with it seem in a reasonable price range
now, how does the new apu's compete with an i5? it would only cost £60 more than the A10 to get a core i5 2500k, how much of a performance increase would i be looking at from the A10->i5
core i5+mobo(£250):
