I need a computer for daily use. Rendering and some gaming. I already have zotac gt 740 for the gpu. If someone tell me to use i5 instead, i need to sell the gpu so i can afford it (and my local store only has gen3 i5 in stock). Sorry for bad english.

A10 for gpu performance... I3-4430 for cpu performance.

for strictly NO-add-on-GPU the amd is better (but uses more power). If you are going to add a gpu card the intel 4430 is better.

I have the i3-4330 (4MB cache) and am amazed that it "feels" the same while gaming on a gtx680 compared to using a fx8350.

BTW, i am biased towards Intel processors, i stopped buying AMD cpus after the fx8350 (well i did buy the 5150,5350 but was disappointed by the lack of performance in...
Between the choice, I'd take the 5800K for general use and especially rendering. If you're most interested in gaming performance the i3 4430 is faster. If you plan on overclocking the 5800K is also the clear winner as it is multiplier unlocked.

A10 for rendering, i3 for gaming. Neither would be terrible though

EDIT: actually I'd pick the i3 every time, because i'm intel biased

(almost any intel cpu with a 1155 or 1150 socket does a better job due the linux drivers.)

The Ps4/XBOX1 are not good examples of AMD's superiority in CPU's because it is the software that makes the consoles superior. (Yes, Intel could not have done a better job because they are not a GPU company, also)

TL;DR... Budget wise you are better-off with an AMD a10... with INTEL you will need to add a GPU card to match the GPU power of the A10.

BTW an hd4600 in the i3-4430 is about the same as a nvidia GT630.
i prefer the intel processors because i am mainly need them for mythtv, and they are low power.
