No problems with an AMD A10-5700. Plenty of power and low heat. If you ever desire to run RAID-5 AMD's RAID software is far superior to Intel's as well.
Maybe there are discrete GPU and driver combinations that don't support this properly but their latest stuff certainly handles it without issue. I bailed from NVidia "driver roulette" where, with each release of the driver, you didn't know whether or not it'd work right. (And more likely than not, it failed.)

Thanks for the info. This is very interesting since I was considering the A10-5800K route due to the specials going on at MicroCenter; where I can get the CPU for $120, and then they knock off $40 from the motherboard.
