I would not go with the AMD APU's, just Phenoms with integrated graphics but put a larger price on them for the graphics you don't need.
Hyperthreading does not make the dual core perform like a quad core, it just splits up the cores from two to four which makes them run more effectively, in gaming there is little to no difference.

Best solution
I hope you realise this -
"FX 4300 or 4150 / athlon x 4 since these are also quad core"
They are actually dual cores but are pre-hyperthreaded and labeled as a quad core. Hyperthreading just splits the cores up and uses them more effectively, they do not make a big difference and it does not compare to a proper quad core processor. This is the same for all FX series CPU's.
"why not APU? please give some details , disadvantages or bad experiences. APU can also work as a dedicated CPU with discrete GPU or Dual graphics for 1080P gaming med to hi FPS, got this info from YouTube ."
Dual graphics does not work with every card, and with the ones that work they are not as good as the R9 270 in the first place, with or without dual graphics. No bad experiences but the APU graphics itself will be useless to you with a graphics card, and the CPU itself is not as good as the price suggests.

Which is better for upcoming games?dual core pentium unlocked or the new i3 4150 with hhyperthreading. I prefer G3258 because it can run with excellent most games out there... then it not big difference between both CPU performance compare with their prices for gaming purpose... for gaming it the GPU make more difference for performance..
