Hey guys, i am building a new computer soon and i was just wondering which would preform better.

Amd A8 side:

Cpu: Amd A8 7600
Motherboard: Asus A88XM-E
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Case: Corsair SPEC-01 RED
Psu: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified

Amd Athlon side:

Cpu: Amd Athlon 860k
Motherboard: Asus A88XM-E
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Gpu: Xfx Geforce 8500 gt
Case: Corsair SPEC-01 RED
Psu: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified

I want to know which would preform better in general. I already have the 8500 gt and have a tight budget of $350 Canadian. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hey bradley_alv,
I would suggest going with the AMD athlon 860K and the 8500gt. The second one should in general perform better than the AMD A8.
