You would be much better off with a hyper threaded pentium .

Whats your country & budget for those 4 components?

I don't recommend an old AMD A8 CPU. There are much better AMD Ryzen or Intel Skylake CPU's available at good prices.

this is another option of mine.
Kabylake G4560 Processor
MSI H110M Pro-D
4GB DDR4 2133 RAM
this is a bundle pc package.
Price: 156.83 US $

Video Card: ASUS GTX 1050 2GB
Price: 113.95 US $

Good for Mid Settings and for Audio Recording.

G4560 is much better.

Here's a comparison of the A8-7600 vs the G4560: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-A8-7600-APU-vs-Intel-Pentium-G4560/m14050vs3892.
The A8 is about $65 and the G4560 is about $80. There's a huge difference in performance for $15 more. There are 2 more items to improve your build. First, increase your RAM to 8GB. 4GB is the bare minimum. It will slow down your new build due to too many memory swaps to your HDD. Second, the GTX1050 isn't much better than integrated graphics. Upgrade to a GTX1050Ti.

ok will get the G4560
i'll get the 8GB. RAM
i'll use the integrated graphics first, cause the GTX1050Ti let's say the motherboard, processor and ram here in my country the philippines cost 100 US Dollars. The GTX1050Ti costs 100 US Dollars here also/.
So while i save up for the 1050Ti, i could use the integrated graphics for browsing and i just need to use the new build for audio recording, like i'm going to do a demo song but my current build is so 2009 and slow.
then when i buy the 1050Ti i can then use it for AAA Titles.
