Which would you choose/reccomend?
Ok so I'm a complete noob at this and have no experience whatsoever so bear with me. I feel like I have done a fair amount of research and have narrowed down my list to two AMD CPUs though I'm not opposed to Intel.

FX-4300 Vishera
A10-5800K Trinity

I will be using my computer mainly for YouTube and video watching. Lots of it. I also would like like to run the mid-high end games on low-mid levels pretty smooth. Maybe a bit of software compiling if that has any effect.

Any advice that you have would be greatly appreciated. If you have any suggestions for other CPUs please tell me. Also if you have any ideas for compatible motherboards or graphics cards that would be awesome. Oh and the CPUs have to stay in the $100 price range

if you plan on using a graphics card stay away from the A series. You are paying more for having an integrated graphics processor. Now, as for the choices, you can get an Athlon x4 760k (basically an A8- 6600k without the integrated graphics) for less than 100.00. it would be very close to your other more expensive amd options. If you can stretch your budget a bit however, you'd probably be better off going with an i3 4130 with an H81 (they range from around 60.00 and up).
