Hi everyone, just want to get the simpliest opinion about a low budget but a good gaming rig, so basically im planning to buy a rig where i can play casual games w/ a smooth graphic (medium profile settings) such as DOTA 2, NBA2k14, Starcraft 2 etc.. now on most computer shops in our place, they offer some basic gaming rig equip w/ an amd apu processor like a6-5400k and a motherboard w/ an integrated card like this:

and this:

so as you would see on this, specs they have a decent int gpu (dx11)

does this mean i can expect my gaming needs on a rig like this? if so, will it play other games that i would like such as Darksiders 2, Tomb Raider, some FPS games or recently released games (given that i will install powerful RAM)

or is it better to install seperate GPU card like powercolor radeon hd6570 w/ this same rig only adding GPU Cards.

I would really appreciate a response to this, i've been reading some articles about this but it is way over my head.
