Which Cpu Is Better

[LegendOfLich-1382235]

AMD A-10 6800k

or

AMD Athlon ll x4 760k

Which is better for gaming. Don't worry about pc specs, just tell me which pc is better for gaming. Minecraft, CubeWorld, Skyrim. I also record and edit/render videos. Again, I just want to know which one is better for the job.

Depends.

If you are NOT buying a discrete graphics card, then #1.
If you ARE buying a discrete graphics card, then #2.

^ This. You can get a 760k and an HD 7750 for about the price of 6800k and have a better gaming solution.

The dual graphics doesn't always work so well. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dual-graphics-crossfire-benchmark,3583-10.html

Seriously, if you are going to spend the money on a 6800k then a 6670 for dual graphics mode plus the faster ram necessary for the APU's graphics to perform well enough, you would be better off going with a 760k, normal ddr3 1600, and an HD 7770 or even a 7790.

a-10 for sure its newer and has better single core performance

The 760K is as good as the A10-6800K. Even the predecessor 750K and A10-5800K were on-par with one another. The 760K has better overclocking potential and pairing it with a decent GPU (say R9 270 or GTX 760) will kick the A10-6800K in whatever CrossFireX configuration it runs. Two weak GPUs in CrossFireX configuration is still weak.

They are the same architecture, so no, the A10 isn't newer and doesn't have better single core performance. A 760k is an Richland APU without the IGP.
