Between AMD APUs and AMD CPUs, the CPUs will give you better performance.

As for AMD CPU vs Intel CPUs in games the following benchmarks from Techspot.com should help paint you a picture. Intel CPUs generally performs better than AMD CPUs especially in games that are CPU intensive. The more CPU intensive the game, the larger the performance gap.

Alien Isolation is an example of a game that is not very CPU intensive so weak CPU can provide pretty good performance. Far Cry 4 and the Witcher 3 are examples of games that are dependent on the CPU, but not too much. GTA 5 is also an example of a game that is a bit CPU intensive. However, the CPU benchmarks are for 2560 x 1600...

The FX line has more processing power than the A series, but is older, but comes in 6 and 8 core variants along with quad core like the A series. The A series is newer and has built in graphics on the chip, the FX requires a gpu or motherboard with it built in.

So the A10 7870k on the A series, and FX 9590, but the FX 8350 is the best per cost as the 9590 and 9370 require a high end motherboard and only a few support then and need an aftermarket cooler.

Simply for gaming buy FX 63xx or FX83xx + good GPU and you will have FPS.
From A series take X4 860K + GPU.
APU A8-7650k/7670k or A10-7850k/7870k are good when you are tight with budget and do not want play at 1080P in new AAA games :)

For gaming and workload take FX-8350 or Intel i7 / Xenon

I suggest an AMD FX processor if your going to have a dedicated GPU, or an APU if your going with an integrated GPU. Both CPUs and APUs are low price, but your wasting money if you get an APU and a dedicated GPU, keep that in mind.

However, the CPU benchmarks are for 2560 x 1600 instead of 1080p resolution so I would say at 1080p the difference in the performance gap between the weakest and strongest CPUs should be less compared to 1600p. Lastly, Homeworld Remastered is an example of a game that is very CPU dependent which is reflected in the game benchmarks. Feel free to check out other benchmarked games in the link provided above.

Choose whatever CPU you think is right for you.
