Picked up the A10-7850k and the Asus a88x-pro from microcenter as a bundle deal for $200, then I picked up 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 2400Mhz CAS11 RAM for $75, Thermaltake case for $30 and a new PSU for $45. Going to pick up a decent HSF when everything is delivered later this week or early next week.
Total upgrade cost was less than $400 and I have the option of adding an r7 260 or an r9 270x down the line if the IGPU isn't enough for me. (though for 90% of what I do it should be)

Don't forget the thermal paste!
I will be using some AS5 I have laying around, or if I decide to pony up for the Noctua NH-D12 which comes with one of the best TIMs out there unless you want to pay for Indigo Xtreme which is like $10 per application.
Hmm sorry. I can't see sigs on my phone.
Waiting for another train th leave the platform so we can get into station nef.
