So just using the PCI-E?
Should have just purchased an AM3+ board and 8300.
EDT: You would have done better with no iGPU if buying an APU, the iGPU will be auto disabled when using the PCI-E for graphics. You aren't going iTX but mATX, so i'm confused why an APU is even included in this form factor with a dedicated GPU.

He read a guide, probably written by LoL players, and as we know many of these hardcore I-only-play-one-game folks are not hardware savvy. The $70 Pentium G3258 would've given him better CPU performance because of its superior single core performance. LoL only uses 2 cores, so whether he chooses an FX or A8 or A10, the IPC will pretty much yeild the same performance in a game like LoL because of its limited CPU utilization, unless he decides to stream, in which case AM3+ and 8300 would've been the way to go.
