I'm looking to buy a gaming PC off a website as I've never built one myself and I'd prefer to just get a plug and play PC.

My budget is around £500 and these are the two options I'm trying to pick between -

1) - i3-6300 3.80GHz, 8GB ram, Asus H110 Chipset Motherboard, XFX R9 380 4GB "dual fan", 1TB harddrive.

2) AMD Kaveri A8-7670K, 8GB ram, Gigabyte A68 Chipset Motherboard, XFX R9 380 4GB "dual fan", 1TB harddrive.

The case for the setup above is the same for both models. The only game I'm really looking to play is Battlefield 4, and battlefield 5 once it's released at 1080p 60hz, So which of the two systems above is best?

If I could build a better PC for the same price, I'm willing to give it a shot, any suggestions would be helpful as this is my first gaming PC purchase/build!

 
Get the i3 6300 one, 1) that cpu is better than the a8. 2) for £500, it is hard to get the same I don't know it will include the OS or not. 3) Also double check the PSU, usually it is not the good one.
Here I add the list for reference if you want to build yourself.

Thanks for your reply firstly! The Company I'm getting it from are called overclockers.co.uk and I get a 3-year system warranty for using their service so I think they would use a credible PSU. The OS doesn't matter as I already have that however if I was able to stretch my budget for £533 I could get the Intel i5 - 6500 with Team Group Vulcan GOLD 8GB 2133MHz ram. is the i3 better because it has more GHz? Sorry if I ask too many questions, this is my first gaming rig so I'd just like to make a decent investment!

Arctic Silver Arctic Alumina Premium Ceramic Polysynthetic 1.75g Thermal Paste - £4.35
Asus H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard - £53.31
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory - £40.98
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - £32.94
XFX Radeon R9 380 4GB Double Dissipation Video Card - £149.99

for a grand total of £600.80.

Adding the extra £100 really makes a huge difference and I feel like this build would last me a good two or three years? what's your opinion, have I made a good choice?
