which will be better for gaming? like minecraft, left 4 Dead, Pcsxe2, Team Fortress 2 and recording games on fraps. both have decent PSU and PC case included.
on forums they said that using dedicated GPU is much better.
and dual core is enough for gaming,

will the intel pentium performs good as A10 or will it perform better? or vice versa.
the 4.2 turbo speed of A10 was good(?) but they said the architecture of the CPU part of it is not that good.
others said it is good others said no im confused.

I would have thought G2010 with GT640 is a better gaming machine

CPU performance A10 > G2010. However, when it come to gaming, GPU performance is critical. So, G2010 + GT 640 win
