AMD FX or AMD A-series processor?
I pretty much settled for the A-Series A10, but then i went browsing on some forums and found quite a few people saying that FX are just better for gaming. Are they? I would be playing gmaes like FarCry3, Skyrim, Crysis 3 (when it comes out), Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 with a Radeon 7950 3GB Vapor-X. Any Opinions? Thanks in advance for any help :)

The A series have integrated video, for cut-down systems or laptops.
For gaming, you need a separate graphics card, so the internal graphics would be unused.
Go for the FX series, preferably an FX-8350.
You also need two Microsoft hotfixes to allow Windows 7 to use all the cores in an FX - the standard CPU scheduler does not understand the chip and turns half of it off...
(Probably why there are so many claims of bad performance - with the fixes they are excellent & run anything you can find).
Install hotfixes KB2645594 and KB2646060 from microsoft.com once the system is up and running.

The FX chips are in basic terms undeniable quicker, and maximum video games out now do no longer take finished benefit of twin center technologies. there's a twin center FX chip nevertheless...The AMD Athlon FX-60. rather costly nevertheless...
