They are using the A10 because the FX series is dead in the water, they want to advertise their latest and greatest and that's Kaveri.

OP you have spent your money inefficiently. CreativeUsername: I don't see why he needs a $33 cpu cooler with a non-k boxed intel processor. Also OP's original build did not include an optical drive so that's 10% of the budget you've spent on things he doesn't need My suggestion is as follows...
