Hi mates,i'll be changing my A4-5800K to A10 later this month,

i just want to ask what parts should i also replace.

my Power Supply is roughly 230V,should i change it too?
also if you can recommend me some good cpu fan for the A10.
(i heard a lot from some reviews that the stock fan does not quiet do well.)

Thank you!

Yes you will need to buy a new mobo too.Do you have a dedicated GPU?Then you will not need a APU.
IF you want to play games and can't buy a GPU in near future then buy APU.Fx - 6300 will always be a better choice.
Don't change to A 10
Buy Fx 6300 instead.Fx 6300 is faster than A 10.Instead you need a Gpu.

For your question the A10 uses 95 TDP max, and if you are going to use a gpu with it then you will need a better PSU.
A 450+ wtt is recomended.
 


i saw your recommendation,it was a good one.the problem is
my socket is FM2,i dont know if AM3+ will fit on it.

am i suppose to buy a new mobo too? (i certainly hope not...)
