I have under $200 for a AMD APU and MB What is a good combo or seperate price for CPU and MB This is for light gaming low-Med settings Bf3-Bf4 thanks any help would be welcome !!!
 
I wouldn't bother with an APU. Get an 860k and a GT 730. Better performance, for a similar cost.

For BF4, multiplayer, the 860k will probably do better for you. I wouldn't want anything less than an i3. A little over budget, but this would be better as well, cpu wise.
