Now all they sell is that A8 fusion crap that appeals to the laptop market, otherwise the CPU aspect of the APU preforms around the lines of an Athlon II or just barely scrapes ahead of the Phenoms.
Honestly, there is hardly a noticeable difference when it comes to an intel vs AMD in gaming. So might as well get an AMD.

OEM Phenom II x4 + Hyper 212+/EVO $100
8GB (2 x 4GB, you need to be able to upgrade for video editing.) 1333 RAM $30
ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 $40
Antec BP550w PSU $60
Radeon 7770 $120
1 TB 7200RPM HDD - $80
Rosewill Challenger ATX Case $60
Puts you around $10 under budget. You won't even need to salvage your case or HDD.

What. Lies. AMD has APU solutions for people who are broke, and piledriver FX solutions for people who do their video editing and graphics modeling. Also, the Phenom 2's weren't bad for gaming, a lot of people still buy them.
Intel beats AMD in gaming even with i5s.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Spoiler (click to show/hide)I'm sure +20 FPS is noticeable, especially during large events. Also, this is their flagship model so far.

the only difference between the i5 and i7 is multi-threading
which makes no difference in gaming
they're literally the same fucking thing

I bet you nobody with an AMD CPU in their system also has the money to have a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 60.
