Whats the main difference between the FX-Series and the A-Series?
I know the FX-Series have more cores but is that the only difference.
Thanks.
BTW i was looking at getting the AMD A10 Quad Core 6800k. Any recommendations on changing this and getting a FX-Seires processor?

The FX series is going have your quad core, six core and eight core processors, all geared towards gaming friendly computer builds.
The A series is going to have your dual and quad core processors, more oriented towards a home theater PC, small form factor/light gaming PC.
The A series have onboard graphics meaning you can run your computer without buying a graphics card and do some light gaming, i.e. DX9 titles and such. (You can add a graphics card and make this a powerful system though.)
The FX series do not have onboard graphics and you will have to buy a graphics card in order to run your computer (Unless you have a motherboard with a video out.)
Your FX series is going to mainly comprise of full ATX motherboard options (or 970 chipset mATX boards) meaning you'll need a bigger case. The A series will allow you to run a smaller mATX or mini ITX motherboard, and therefore a smaller case.
What it really comes down to honestly is how small do you want your computer to be, and how powerful?
Does this help any?
