Solution
If you do not plan for any near future upgrade, the A10-5800k is the way to upgrade on the cheap.
Its not going to bottleneck the R9 270.

Upgrade the GPU to a R9 280X or equivalent, you will get problems. So by then, you will need to upgrade your CPU/Mobo Again.


as the one guy stated the 10 5800k an fx4150 have about the same performance witch i have a mini-itx case so 1 get a fm2 mini itx mobo r9 270 and anouther matching stick of ram an boom just saved money casue finding an i/o sheild is ganna be hard iv fount one but its almost 20$ an itll be coming from the uk so 295 for the parts iv hand picked http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VmfyLk
i just think its ganna be easier to not get a case an hunt a i/o for my mobo

exactly what im going for is the cheaper way for now
 


The A10 is a Piledriver core. It is a better cpu. As far as overclocking I have one Prime95 stable at 4.6 GHz with a low end Hyper 212 EVO.
