I think rajatgod512's suggestion makes more sense as it is an APU. his usage does mention some photoshop and light gaming. An integrated graphics solution would help IMO. though the onboard graphics of the 880 is okay I guess.

+1 to this. A6-3650 over Phenom II.

Why? A6-3650 has Radeon HD 6530D graphics. It will run games better. With Phenom II you will need to spend more for a graphic card.

Thanks all for the suggestions. :lol:

I am thinking to go for the processor AMD A6-3650.

However, I have one question. As Rajat specified that 'A6-3650 has Radeon HD 6530D graphics. It will run games better. With Phenom II you will need to spend more for a graphic card.
Does this mean that I need not spend anything for the graphics card? Or do I need spend lesser money for the graphics card? Please guide me on this.
