im thinking i might swap the Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80623G620 for the AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D AD3850WNGXBOX
is it worth it for the extra ~50 bucks?
if so plz recommend a mobo for the amd processor
ill take any suggestions

^ you currently have:
CPU - Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge
MoBo - ASRock H61M-VS LGA 1155
GPU - N/A
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM
ODD - LITE-ON DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04
CASE - ???
PSU - ???
Necessities:
Cisco Valet AM10 IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter
i-Work OTI-1508
and want to swap for an A8... well it is worth it on its own but you'll have to swap that mobo as well.
you can swap the ram for a DDR3 1333 CL9 if you plan on sticking with intel, the difference is negliable i can assure that.
also you might want to invest on faster rams if you plan on going with the A8, the IGP profits on faster rams.
you'll have to purchase a GPU if you wish to stick with intel, that IGP wont cut for you enough. i'd suggest either HD6570 or HD6670 as they're within 60$-90$ and the most bang for buck at that price range.
HD6670 DDR3 [50$ after rebate] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161386
now pick your poison.
