you'd get more out of the intel build even though the processor is a dual core. still, having a dedicated graphic card will be much better than an integrated inside an APU.

I think this worth the extra $15 or so. Better graphics card and more storage.

The 250x is worth the slightly higher cost. The 250 isn't even as fast as an old HD 7750. The 250x is a rebadged HD 7770, and still a pretty solid, and a THG recommended GPU, on the best cards for the money, GPU. ;)
