I want to buy AMD APU and a motherboard. my budget is around 10k.
I am not going to use a Graphics Card and wouldn't need to overclock.... :cool::cool::cool:
but I can't decide which combination is best in term of value for money.... :-?:-?:-?

AMD A8-3870K - 7k + (suggest value for money mobo)
or
AMD A8-3850 - 7k + (suggest value for money mobo)
or
AMD A6-3650 -5.9k + Gigabyte A55M-DS2
or
AMD A6-3670 -6k + BioStar A55ML -3k


... suggest mobo for A8-3870K, AMD A8-3850 and AMD A6-3650 best suited for my budget (if possible mobo under 4k )....

which GPU do you have? If you have a good one you dont really need a APU :|

ok sorry seems I misread the post

so what type of usage?

for most people AMD A6-3650 with Gigabyte A55M-DS2 is enough.

so what type of usage?.

general purpose use such as Multimedia, web browsing and occasional gaming (small games) such as Counter Strike(Condition Zero)... so a little graphic is required ... that's why going for APU..... rather than CPU+GPU

for most people AMD A6-3650 with Gigabyte A55M-DS2 is enough.

that's seems good ... but should not I go for A8 for some extra bucks....

Buy:
A6-3670 @6K
ASUS F1A55-M LE @4K
If you can increase your budget by 1K, buy A8-3870K.
But the motherboard I've suggested is the minimum choice for running any A6 or A8 APU.

In which term you call ASUS F1A55-M LE @4K a minimum choice. I think in price this one is cheaper....
Gigabyte A55M-DS2 Motherboard @3.1k

Please suggest suitable(value for money) mobo for A8- 3870k
