You would be better off with a Intel Skylake 6100 Core I-3 for around $120ish US dollars and a GTX1060 for $249 when it comes out in a few weeks. I gave up on AMD when I saw that a Hasewell Core I3 4320 beat out a FX8370 in Ashes of Singularity in Direct X12. And a I3 6100 is a faster chip than the 4320.
DX12 is supposed to favor multicore processors. Thus you would think the 8 core FX8370 would have the advantage over the dual core I3 but it does not.

One other note....
Read this article:
http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Systems/Quad-Core-Gaming-Roundup-How-Much-CPU-Do-You-Really-Need
So long as you have a card that is equivlant to or less than a GTX960 or a R9 380 it does not matter what CPU you have if you are gaming at 1080P. CPUs only become a major factor when you get cards stronger than a GTX960 or R9 380.
But still I would go with Intel anyway as they have more modern motherboards.

Any of the A series APU's is limited in ability when it comes to high end gpus. The shortchanged Lcache and other things gets to be an issue when compared to a standard cpu. Whether the A10 will bottleneck the 1060 or not enough to count is info I just don't have, but pretty much as said, after the 380 or 960 you get into a whole different class of gpu as ultra affects become increasingly higher in gpu demand.
