Win Upgrading from APU from amd 6400k
#1
Thumbs Down 
Hi, been using xbmc for about the past 7-8 years or so so i'm a follower.... and I have recently started using SVP, with the custom build of Kodi/dsplayer and have been stressing out my cpu/apu on low/moderate settings. From what I've read, SVP takes a major hit on the cpu so i figure i would upgrade but i'm not sure of which on i should get. I've done some research myself but wanted to know what people using SVP/xbmc with AMD APU setups have been experiencing. Here is what i have: (I built this on a medium budget about a year ago)

Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ FM2+/FM2 (Bolton D4)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Red 8GB DDR3-1600 CL9
Current cpu/apu: A6-6400K Rcihland 3.9ghz FM2 65w
Case: Apex MI-008 using the stock psu
SSD: verbatim 120 gb SATA 6gbs

Since i already have the amd setup, i'll be sticking to that and wont be considering intel based setups. I was looking at some of the a10 models (7850, 7700, 7800) and also some of the a8 models since they are still quad core (a big step up from my dual core a6 in theory).

What are y'all's suggestions for which i should upgrade to?

Also. I don't use madvr now or ever really considered it based on what svp does to my system... but I have read it can produce considerable picture improvements. With the upgrade, its not out of the question for the near future.
