Which of the two do you think will be better in terms of overall use (games, web browsing, streaming, Excel, Word, PPT)? Those pcs are on sale here in our place and the prices are not that much different from each other.
 
Solution
the i5 will perform better overall than the a10. only thing the a10 will excel in is gaming due to the better integrated graphics, but neither one will perform amazingly in games without a dedicated graphics card. if you were to get a dedicated graphics card, the i5 wins hands down, no competition.
