AMD A10-7850K or 7700K?

Unfortunately, those are not available here in Australia. It is much more expensive here, price in US then add $50-$100 per piece. Bummer.

Thanks for all the help guys.. I think I've already decided what to get (until prices aren't changed). I made a some few changes that are just less than $50 difference. Note that these are Australian prices. Here it is:

Budget PC:

Quote:PCPartPicker part list

CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor ($135.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85N Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($109.00 @ CPL Online)
Memory: G.Skill Value 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($89.00 @ CPL Online)
Storage: Sandisk 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($69.00 @ Mwave Australia)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case ($45.00 @ Mwave Australia)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply ($99.00 @ CPL Online)
Total: $546.00

I opted for the mobo because it has an additional PCI-E slot, anytime that I would need to add a WiFi+Bluetooth adapter for it. its a mid-range chipset out of current available ones.
The memory so that I can still add another 8gb to maximise the mobo's capacity. Unfortunately, the mobo only has 2 dimm slots.
The casing should be enough, I can still add an optical drive anytime.
And also, I could add a regular size GPU.
The power supply, as it's the cheapest 80+Gold that is available here in AUS.
Being in 550W makes it a bit of future-proof anytime that I would be adding a GPU.

I made another list, an in-between of budget and future-proof (2-3 years, add more if adding a GPU), I might aim for this one if I will not buy anytime soon:

A mid-range, quad cpu.
Mobo, WiFi+Bluetooth already built-in.
Same for the RAM.
Same for the Power Supply.

Here's an Overclockable one:

A mid-range, overclockable quad cpu. but OC on an ITX might not be a good idea (heat).
Mobo, WiFi+Bluetooth already built-in.
Same for the RAM.
Same for the Power Supply.

My aim, is not really mainly for Dolphin only. It is to play games/emulators(PCSX2) in decent graphics and fps. I'm not really one of them "graphics-junky" players. I'm more of a, "60fps? Awesome! (decent graphics of course)". Either PC build should and may act as an HTPC (purpose of the ITX mobo). I'm gonna be worrying about the gpu, up until the time its time to get one. These might change, depending on the haswell refresh in a months time.

Right, should I post this on a separate thread, it might be helpful to others. Or should I just leave this here..?

So, what do you guys think of this build?

Edit:
Corrected 2nd build and added OCable one.
