Hi.

I am building a new PC for work use. I want a Stable AMD build.

What Processor and Mobo combo is currently suggested and future proof for 2-3 years?

Budget for Processor and MOBO, approx 8000.

Searched forums for the same, but not found anything useful.

Please suggest as going to buy in 1-2 days.

Thanks in Advance!!

Why insisting on AMD ? you can have a look at Intel as well, as right now Intel processors in low-end beat AMD ones hands down for gaming performance.
Can you please update us about what other components you are planning to have in your PC and what will be the purpose of the machine.

Have a look at these 2 options, but at 8k we can not promise future proof combo.

Thanks for the reply.

I am looking to build a work pc, with occassional Gaming (Not latest but games like NFS Shift should run decently at low to mid levels). Basically, I want stable Motherboard and CPU Combo with onboard graphics solution and USB 3 is also welcome if available.

For Intel, I am having very good experience with 2 of my pcs which are based on AMD. (AMD 4200 with Asus M2A VM and other I dont remember). So will stick to AMD Side :)..

Please suggest good configurations which are successful and recommended..
