Time to update my mobo/cpu

As I am doing more and more transcoding etc. my old mobo/cpu ain't wonderful. Don't get me wrong it still works fine. I'm not in to gaming so that side don't interest me (for that functionality).

 

Existing setup

 

Gigabyte G41MT-D3 mobo (micro ATX)

8GB DDR3 1066 PC3-8500F (2 x 4GB)

Dual core Intel 2GHz Pentium E2180 CPU

 

What I'm looking at replacing it with (rightly or wrongly)

 

Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-HD2 mobo (micro ATX) £39.90

16GB DDR3 1866 (2 x 8GB) £65.47

AMD Athlon X4 860k black cpu (Kaveri, Quad Core, 3.7GHz, 95W, CPU, Retail) £58.63

 

I'm guessing this should go like sh*t off a shovel?

Any better suggestions in this sort of price range?

The 2nd post i way better. Always best to stick with Intel if possible. All i would reconsider is a changing the M/B to Asus and maybe adding an SSD (Samsung Evo) if your able.

Asus imo, is by far the most reliable, well built M/B's available, same goes for the Samsung SSD's.
