Hiya guys,
Im being a bit indecisive. I want to build my first PC.
I'll will be generally using it for surfing, workstuff (connecting to remote servers)
Watching some video through YouTube DVd and r playing some older games that will like total war.
I have been looking at an i3 3225 or A10 5800k
I have a total budget of 350 to 400.
Which processor will be best for what I need.
Also which components will supplement the CPU best.
I already have a DVD light scribe I can put in
Cheers

An A10 has a sufficient cpu and the graphics would be more powerful than the i3 so you would enjoy the games more on A10

Do you need an OS, monitor, k&m, hdd/odd and a case?

Don't need OS, keyboard mouse or monitor
Was hoping to have an ssd for boot and a hdd storage.though
Cheers

A10 is perfect, it may not be as powerful as the i3, but the gpu alone plus price means its a bargain
