lol that mobo is am3 one you need fm2 supportive mobo which costs 5k. and i3 is better than a10

CPU

i3>a10

GPU

A10>I3

correct?

a decent fm2 motherboard is more than 5k, apart from that to fully utilize the a10 performance, you need high speed ram atleast 4gb and recommended 8gb

Correct. If budget is a big constraint you can pair the A105800K with a A55 chipset based mother board for Rs 3750 Theitdepot - Buy MSI FM2-A55M-E33 32GB DDR3 AMD Motherboard online in india

It will beat the crap out of a i3 in gaming without a discreet GPU. For a bit more over the i3 this is a killer combo out of the box.

But if you are planning on a discreet GPU later on get the i3. But even then the A10 being a "physical" Quad Core looks more promising over the i3 with dual physical cores,in the near future.

Cheap fm2 motherboards which retail in India generally lack usb3.0 and/or sata3. A decent board would cost ~5.5k. I3 3220 is the best deal for you.

I think you meant Sata 6. A PCIe USB3 card can be had for Rs 650 or less. And Sata 3 is more than enough as mechanical drives are yet to even even explore that bandwidth let alone 6GBps. If he is on a budget and wont get a GPU then A10 is the best option,IMHO.

@ OP Even later if you add a GPU the way things are getting in gaming from consoles to PC its better to have a QuadCore A105800K over a Dual Core i3 CPU.

Yeah I meant SATA6, my mistake.

SATA 6 Gbps is basically useless addition fo the current 7200 RPM HDD as they simply can't utilize the bandwidth. USB 3.0 is a feature one should miss in A55 based FM2 motherboards.

how about a FX 4100 @ 6.1k + Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 @ 3.8k or FX 6100 @ 7.1k + Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 @ 2.65K.

Granted it lacks in gpu performance department but adding a discrete gfx card later will make the hexa core cpu and a decent gpu config much more future proof.

^ Agreed, there isn't any gaming performance difference between the 4100 and i3 and also regarding the fps.

Bulldozers cpus was crap for gaming.

these are enough to prove

yeah but games like BF3 MP generally performs better on quad cores compared to dual cores and some multi tasking apps which needs lots of processicing power works better on quad core / hexa core cpus ... no doubt BD's performance was not so good but it's not the worst at-least ;-)
