I have chosen two configuration:-

Intel-
Processor - Intel Pentium G645
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-H77-D3H
Graphic Card- Forsa Geforce GT520

AMD-
Processor - Athlon II X2 270
Motherboard- Digilite DL-A88GMV
Graphic Card- Geforce GT 640

Which one is better and also tell how much watt PSU I will be needing.

The AMD option you have would be the better choice. As far as a Power Supply goes a 500watt will do just fine. Just make sure it has at least two 6+2 PCI-E connections on the power supply and you'll do fine. :)

You PSU should be from Seasonic, Corsair, XFX... all those brands are mentioned every time someone asks about a PSU. A 250 watt power supply will be inadequate for the GT640 or if you will overclock. 350 watt minimum and that's if you have a low-end GPU and a non-overclocked processor with a TDP less than 70W and 2 drives. +1 to drbones8472, a 500 watt PSU will be good for your purposes and also for the future. I would not recommend the Intel build just because the GPU is inadequate and can only play old titles at medium-low settings. The AMD build is the one you should get if you have no option but the 270 is a little weak. However you can overclock it and save money. (250=3GHz 260=3.2GHz 270=3.4GHz 280=3.6GHz) I overclocked mine into a 280.

This is one of those weird situations where the AMD build actually has a stronger CPU due to it's higher clocks+modularity but weaker graphics due to it's IGPU being bandwidth starved

+1 to stickmansam
Although maybe a 7750 would be better or an APU and a 6670 crossfire.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that APU build. I would go for 4GB of DDR3-1866 because like you said the memory bandwith bottlenecks the iGPU.
