I am planing a low cost PC,using for internet,songs,movies.So i want to use Amd processor.In this tight budget i don't want to use graphics card.so i want to use AMD A4-5300 which is having internal graphics.Now i am in confusion whether i have to go for AMD Athlon II X2 270 Processor or A4-5300.plz suggest which is faster.

You could go with a celeron and the integrated HD which can run 1080p video and you can always add a gpu since its faster than the A4 it wont bottleneck

if you go with amd x270 you have to buy motherboard with integrated graphic, that igp will perform worse than amd 5300, if you could up your budget a little bit, i recommend buy an amd 5400 k, its has 200 MHz higher clock, 7540d (192 stream) vs 7480 d (128 stream) and unlocked multipier for $10 more. and the cpu will be faster than amd x270
Update : the price difference between x270 and 5400k is only $5 and amd 5400k built in newer technology (32nm)than x270 (45nm).
5400k
