@ op

If you're plaaning to buy in may/june, then wait for Richland based apu's mainly A10 6800K.
Haswell would also have been out by then and you'll have a plethora of choices.

Start a thread a couple of weeks before you plan to buy to make sure you get the latest and the best components available then.
