a10 or FX

[aerius7]

I`m planning to build 3 Pc´s for a small programmer team but we can´t spend too much because it´s 3 pc´s.
we don´t know if go for an A10 7850k or a FX 8350 we`ll match them with r9 280´s and 16gb of RAM what do you think A10 or FX, we want them two last up to 2 years

We are also plannning to render some light to medium stuff.
thanks.

IF you're going to install discreet cards anyhow, the FX is a better option. Multi-core performance is better in the FX while almost all other benchmarks are dead even, until you factor in discreet graphics which then takes overall performance past what is achievable with the APU. Plus, you can of course OC the FX to a good 4.5 if you want but more importantly, the R7 graphics on the A10 will never compete with the R9 280.
