How to understand if a CPU is good? And which one is better

I guess I'd get the second one because it has 8GB ram instead of 4.

Both have terrible gpu's, but flashpoint cold war is so old it runs on anything.

Please don't reply with "just build a pc it's easy"

I'm locked in to these two and just want your opinion.

Note, I'm not looking to play crazy games either.

Games like Garry's mod and Operation Flashpoint Cold war

Thanks.

This is one of the best i found in Bestbuy with A10-6700, 8GB and 1TB HDD for $529,99. This one will be much faster than the two PCs you linked.

Asus - Essentio Desktop - A10-6700 - 8GB - 1TB

Another one is the following with FX-6300 + R7 250, 8GB memory and 1TB HDD for a little more at $579,99. This one is way more powerful both in CPU and GPU performance for only $50 more.

CyberPowerPC - Gamer Ultra Desktop - AMD FX-Series - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive

What does that even mean? Sounds like League of Legends terminology 😵

If those are your only choices for some reason then it dosent matter what you pick.

That pretty much sums it up. Personally I'd get the cheaper one and then get some In n' Out with the money saved.

The one I posted has a better graphics card than the ones in your first post. The CPU is good, yes. It is six slower cores vs. the Pentium's two faster cores in your first link and six faster cores vs. four slower cores in the second sytem. So it'll be a bit faster in some tasks and a little slower in others compared to the Pentium. Compared to the system with the FX4100, it is faster all around.

The down side of the system I posted is that it has limited upgradability. That motherboard can probably only be upgraded to an FX8320 (octo core), and new CPU's are doubtful for the socket it uses. But, for $520 it is pretty solidly spec'd.

Ahh hell, i had shipping in UK 😛

Yes i can see it is available at $519,99 now. That one is the best choice by far, except the board. But if he will not OC then he will be fine.

Don get the one with the FX4100, the one Slowspyder suggested is much better at the same price.
 
Why bother buying a rubbish prebuilt and then upgrading it? That never makes sense. You should build your own from scratch which will end up way better; you'll be fiddling with parts anyway.
