[Rannoch]

Hi

Looking for recommendations for a fast but cost effective cpu for home use, will never be used for gaming, no overclocking etc.

Thank guys

what mobo do you have since your only asking for cpu i assume you have one?

Whats your budget?

If it's just for web browsing and word processing etc a AMD A4 or similar Intel is fine.

No motherboard yet mate.

Is the AMD A8 5600K Black Edition a good buy?

I may want to play blu-ray and mkv files also

As mentioned previous, please post your motherboard.

we cannot really spec a cpu for you without knowing which motherboard you require. If you do not have one, perhaps we can spec you a bundle.

Please post a list of what hardware you currently have?
