get an athlon x4 860k instead of that A8 as the A8 is very weak and upgrade to atleast a 400w PSU. 300 watts is cutting it FAR too close.

OK, but isnt the 860k the same core just with the graphics disabled and a slightly higher clock?

Only a little more expensive, better at games, and has a power supply that does not need an adapter to run higher end video cards (well ones that only need a single PCIE power connector). Plus it will be more energy efficient.

well, I got the Windows 10 and monitors for free on my computer, same with the HDD

the 860k has 4 more powerful cores that are found in A10 processors compared to that of the A8.
