Hi all.
I was thinking of upgrading my old Pentium 4. It will be used mostly for light gaming, internet, MS Office etc.
I dont want to upgrade anything else than CPU and Motherboard.
The total budget is 12k. I may extend it to 15k if really worth it.
I heard that A8 has integrated graphics.. Is that true?
So what about this:
AMD A8-3850 @ 7k
Gigabyte GA-A75M-S2V @5k
And get a new HDD?
What do you say?

- As my current HDD is IDE, I would like if motherboard supports it too. If not, suggest the cheapest HDD in the specified budget(even 500GB is too much!).
- Due to cabinet size, motherboard should be m-ATX.
- I am not going to add a GPU, cooler or any stuff like that.
- I may overclock in future.. Maybe after an year or so
- Also, my monitor is non-HD.
- I want decent onboard graphics to run latest games(at low-medium settings).
- My PSU is CM Extreme 500W, aka "Time Bomb" but as I am not going to add a GPU, I can use it, right?
- Support for DDR2 is not really needed, I would prefer it..
