The FX 6300 is the better CPU, but the A10 system would still get better performance because of the Radeon HD 7970, even if there was a bit of a CPU bottleneck. Ideally you would probably want something with a better CPU than an A10 but also with a graphics card as powerful as the 7970 or better, but that might be hard to come by on the used market.

The lower one is better, when thinking about gaming, you dont need 6 cores for gaming, even 4 cores are debatable if needed in gaming, and The HD 7970 is far better than R7 265.
