I've been looking at apu's being a good budget mid range gaming pc. I'm just wondering if these two other pc's beat the apu and which one would be the best?

apu-http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-desktop-8gb-mem...$pcmcat212600050008&cp=1&lp=1

#1-http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-amd-fx-se...$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=2

#2-http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-intel-pen...$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=3

Are the low/mid end cpu and gpu for #1 and #2 better than the a8 7600?

Neither of the three are good gaming pcs. They will struggle with the latest games and you will be playing at the lowest settings.

Have you considered building your own pc? For $500 you could get a PC much better than any of those which you linked.

I wrote mid range gaming, I'm not going to be playing the latest games. Also building one is not a choice. I'm just wondering which one is the best out of the three.

Even with older games, all of those systems will struggle. What games do you plan on playing and what settings are you looking for?

Out of the three the a8 but please expect to game mostly at 720p with low to medium settings.

720p low settings is what I was planning to play with. I prefer gameplay over graphics. I plan to play CS:GO, League of Legends. Any of those games in general.

In that case you should be fine. I'd also go with the A8.

I think when I can buy a pc, I'll get the fx 4100 and gt 610 and will upgrade the 610 later on to a different card when I can get the money.

Just curious, but if you're willing to change out the graphics card, why not build a pc?

Also if you upgrade the GPU, you'd also want to upgrade the PSU, unless you plan on using a low powered card like a GTX 750ti. I couldn't find any info on which psu it has, so I'm honestly not sure which graphics cards it will be able to support. Just used the 750ti on a basis that it has a 300W PSU.

My father for some reason doesn't trust buying parts online. Not really any part selling stores around so yea.
I would upgrade when I'm old enough to buy them on my own.

The a8 still has a better cpu cores then the fx4100 plus its GPU is better than the Gt610. Go with the A8.
