Help with AMD cpu

[Ledz]

I went to my local (store) today for a browse and ended up walking out with an assortment of goods but in particular, a Asus A88X-Gamer motherboard.

Now, ive only ever been interested in intel and when it comes to AMD, im lost. Literally i have no idea. I never normally would have bothered but seems as this mobo cost me less than 4 pints of Stella, i couldnt help myself.

Question is a simple 2 parter,

Whats is the absoloute best CPU available for this mobo?
What would be sufficient if this was purely a media centre playing up to 4k?

The best CPU you can get here is the A10-7870K. As a media centre, that may be overkill, but it's only £110 and has decent onboard graphics.

Great, thanks for the reply.
