how will the new AMD APU like A8 7600 Steamroller perform in these softwares:
1- games: FSX , BF3 , Hitman4 .
2- Video Edit: After Effects(CS5,CS6), Sony Vegas(GPU/opencl)
3- Photoshop
4- Blender internal render
in rendering AE is it expected to get half of render time of an i7 or 8-core AMD?
lets say that the PC is 8GB of RAM and a fast HDD (seagate 7200.15 or WD Black).

An semi-decent Intel processor will smoke even the best AMD processor with your workload.

My roommate uses After Effects, and bought a brand new computer with an A8 APU (forget the exact model but it was newer). He now uses an i7 2600K based machine and render times are half, sometimes a quarter of what they were.

I don't think. An old APU dual core will do medium performance on games like FSX , Hitman (around 35fps average) how about quad core A8 or A10 specially Kaveri with its radeon r7?
A very light and normal work of After Effects like 10-20 min on 720p HD will not need a powerful CPU like i7 or AMD FX 8 core.
This tiny PC might work fine:
