Review : Decent processor
Purely from a value point of view you can't go wrong with this, it's a quad core processor that runs very well and will play most games, and do most tasks asked of it.

As this is a Socket FM1 processor you will need a seperate graphics card, purely from a budget point of view if you're not a gamer a AMD 5450 or a 6450 will go best, doesn't matter which one you go for, though I would suggest a Saphire or XFX branded one, both have decent heatsinks and run cool.
