The A10 is an APU (Acclerated Processing Unit) which is, essentially, a processor with a Radeon mobile graphics chip built in. Note: Intel's CPU's do this as well with their i-core processors with intel graphics but do not use the same terminology. Anyways, You'll be getting a quad-core CPU with Radeon R7 mobile graphics which will be able to play most new games at low detail. However, the FX 6300 is just a CPU without built in graphics. This will require you to buy a graphics card. 9/10 it is the better choice to get the CPU and a graphics card as this will make playing games a much better experience.
