I want to buy a new desktop for gaming, I know they're not for 'hardcore' gamers, they wont run Battlefield 4 on max. settings but I believe they're good enough for games like Chivalry, MW3, Skyrim, LoL. anyway these are the systems:

pc1:

Intel® 4th Generation Core™ i5 (2.8 GHz)
8GB ram
NVIDIA GT 640 graphics
1 tb memory


pc2:

AMD 6-Core FX-6300 Processor (3.5 GHz)
8GB ram
AMD HD 8570
1tb memory

which one will run games better. thank you

If I'm correct the HD 8570 is the built in graphics which an AMD A8 uses and that APU is very weak so the second build is a complete no no. The first build isn't really much better. The GT 640 isn't a card designed for gaming but one mainly designed for home streaming (e.g YouTube) and watching movies. I doubt both of these builds will play MW3 or Skyrim but if they do it will be on minimal settings at a reduced resolution. As for which one is better, the first one is marginally. As for should you buy them, no.
These will both play modern games at low settings at 1080 just fine. The GPUs are VERY weak.

The games you listed will run at low. LOL will run at medium or high, at 1080p, skyrim will run at low probably as will chivalry. MW3 will also probably run at low.

I would get the first one as you can add a better GPU later and this will be the better base platform.
