Socket AM3+ is not APU crap, it is for normal high-end desktop CPUs.

AMD

If your going to do NOTHING but CPU work, Pick intel
Well, yeah. Obviously I like the fact that my APU generates a few mBTC each week but it's a small difference.

Even a 7970 doesn't generate much BTC anymore.
My point being that the AMD APU would mine LTC better than the Intel CPU

AMD FX-8350 + Extreme3 MoBo are very good combo. I will go for that without considering anything else. The AM3+ socket will also host at least one AMD desktop CPU generation, but LGA1155 are made obsolete by LGA1150 Haswell cores.

CPU mining will be better with GPU anyway as Sounds said. Get a HD7970 if it fits into the setup.

GPUs will mine LTC faster than any CPU, so get whichever one you like better for whatever your other criteria are; your choice of CPU will make no difference in the long run as to how many LTC you can mine.
