A few questions:
1: Amd A8-6600k, A10-5600k orA10-6800k and also why, not just because it's better.
2: has anyone used the corsair cx range of psu, if so does it have compatability for a 4pin atx12v or is it only 8 pin.
3: looking for a good brand of ram that's cheap, looking for 2133 2x4gb

Any help is appreciated

Well you should upgrade the CPU To a AMD-FX-6300
I havent heard good things about that range i have heard there a pain to put in.
Good brand of ram that is cheap i recommend Kingston or Corsair.

1: budget dependent and theirs other choices that come to mind.
2: Corsair's CX range has had some bad reviews but it does have that connector.
3: what do you plan on doing? for gaming the ram speed does not tend to be worth the extra money you pay, but i'd recommend this ram as it can be overclocked [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Already got a FM2 Mobo and want to stick with an APU after trying out the 6300 on another build for a friend that didn't go too well, also money restraints.
The corsair cx range seems to be cheap yet average and modular, again budget.
I was thinking corsair vengeance but its a bit on the high side of price, but fast ram and apu = good.

Im happy to spend the most on the CPU, but benchmarks show little between the A8 and A10
Is there another brand of PSU you would recommend around the same price
and i plan to game a fair bit, not heavy but i hear the speed of the ram helps when using the APU

With the processor it doesn't matter to me too much on price, i would prefer lower if possible but theres only a small selection. Any FM2 one will be ok just rather know if paying more will be worth it. I will be getting a after market cooler too.

PSU i would max out at 80, 600w and modular is my requirements

Ram i would prefer faster, 2x4Gb and around 60.

Hope you can help here. will appriciate it.
