i3 4150 vs A10 5800k vs G3258

[Sandycheeks]

Need to build a budget pc for mainly browsing/youtube etc.. but will also get used for flash games and possibly minecraft.
Also a bit of powerpoint and office.

Already have a 5800k and a mAtx fm2 board and also have a mItx h81 board and need help deciding what is best.

To be honest just keep a10 5800k if you are not planing to buy dedicated gpu as it will be the best performer in casual gaming eg minecraft, etc and it will do everything you mentioned above. Pentium anniversary edition has stronger cores but weaker igpu therefore worse performance in games.

Here it's link to minecraft test for a10 5800k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EMIaFHJEAw

Hope this helps

Keep the 5800k nothing you mention will task it

I agree, the i3 would suck in comparison

Keep the 5800k nothing you mention will task it

And use the saved money for a SSD.

Ok so decided (for now) to keep the A10 5800k, the main reason going for the pentium was the mItx board but tbh, the mitx cases are not that much smaller than the new Kolink Satellite which is a steal at £27

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Kolink Satellite Micro-ATX Cube Case - Black= £26.99

Total: £26.99
(free shipping: £0.00)

EDIT: Just noticed my mAtx board doesn't fit in this...seems to only support the smaller mAtx boards.
Glad I noticed before ordering.
