AMD A10-6800k vs. AMD FX-6350 vs. AMD A8-6600k

I am going to be building my very first budget gaming pc (pcpartpicker) and I am trying to get a combo for the cpu and mobo and I was wondering which of the three CPU/mobo combos was the best, and for the best price. (microcenter) I would like to not go over $140, and preferably, would like to stay at $130 and below. So, which is the best for the money?

If you're getting a dedicated GPU, then it's a no-brainer to get a CPU. AMD's APUs are more or less for lower end gaming/HTPC.

Would suggest just getting a 6300 and overclocking it.

I would also like to say that I will be planning on upgrading to at least 16 gb in the future. And Rolli, that link doesn't work for me, could you tell me which combo you chose?

And I am still wondering which processor is the best.

Fixed above but here http://www.microcenter.com/product/398237/GA-78LMT-USB3_Socket_AM3_mATX_760G_AMD_Motherboard There are really no good 760 chipset boards and the one in other link is really the cheapest I recommend in AM3+

I decided to go with the A10 Gigabyte combo.
