I have really small budget for a new PC and I would like to get it for every day use. I have been searching pre-built rigs in my local shop and I can't decide about 3 configurations so I would like you to tell me which is the best for Internet, Watching Movies, Some light gaming (Dota2,Wow,Terra online), Adobe programs, MatLab.

First rig:
CPU: FM2 AMD Athlon™ X4 740 3,2GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 7750 1GB/DDR5/HDMI/DVI/128bit
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HD: 1TB

Second rig:
CPU: APU FM2 AMD A8-5600K, 3.6GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 6570 1GB + Radeon™ HD 7560D Dual Graphics
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HD: 1TB

Third rig:
CPU: Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core G2010
GPU: AMD Radeon 7750, 1GB/DDR5/HDMI/DVI/128bit
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HD: 500GB

I got another option.
CPU: AMD A10-5800k
GPU: don't need one cuz the 5800k has a great one.
RAM: 2x4GB 2133 RAM. Yes, you need fast RAM for gaming on a A10 (but do NOT buy a separate GPU)
HDD: 1TB

I highly recommend this option for the budget you have....based on the components.

This article shows how fast a A10 is with faster RAM. You'll also see that adding a GPU like the 6570 actually slows it down.

That ^ is a very good option.

Saw a recent Tech Syndicate test using this CPU and some ADATA 2600 MHZ RAM at 2400 with agressive timings. It was a good performer for light games and general use/media. But as stated above, this is the main scenario where FAST RAM really pays off.

This would be a great option for a tight budget, and you CAN add a seperate GPU later to Crossfire-X wit hteh APU. But you need to research and find the cards that will work with your APU. Just bear in mind, the FM2 CPU socket is for APUs only. If you go this route, upgrading will require you go with anothe rAPU platform.

But I have written the options I have below, there is no chance that I get something beside this. That is why I asked you to give me the best rig although I do respect your opinions to help me, thank you.

Ok. Just wanted to let you know what other options are available. I'm really torn. I think both are great.
