Urgent. Which one is better?

[I need helpz]

I'm going to buy a PC tomorrow. I'm going to get and APU for playing games like CSGO, PAYDAY 2, and other fun game maybe BF4 if I can run it.

IM NOT GETTING A GPU. using APU

Anyways which mother board is better for overclocking the CPU and the iGPU?

Asus A88X-Pro

Gigabyte F2A88X-UP4

MSI A88X-G45 Gaming

or any other suggestions.

Thanks

I'd go the Asus, with the GB as second choice - won't build on MSI due to poor QC

An iGPU really isn't going to be up to playing those games. If you're gaming you NEED a dedicated GPU.

Although if you must pick one of those, go for the ASUS. They have a much better reputation for quality and reliability. Other than that they're all fairly equal.

If you have to get an APU, get the most robust one, a really good cooler, FAST RAM and plenty of it (because the GPU shares RAM with the CPU), and a motherboard with a good power delivery. Also having a fast SSD helps with certain loading in games and with general use. This is my suggestion. The other parts don't matter as much as these.

CPU: AMD A10-7850K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor ($139.95 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($54.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Asus A88X-PRO ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($78.12 @ NCIX US)
Memory: Mushkin Redline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($141.98 @ Newegg)
Storage: OCZ ARC 100 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($80.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $496.02

I used to have an H60 and it kept my 3570k at 40-50 degrees maxed load at 4.6Ghz, plus it's cheap. Good luck.

well, im not really going to play like BF4 or anything. But I mostly play CSGO is that okay for the APU if i OC it?

is the Asus A88X PLUS as good as the PRO for OC?
