super budget pc build

hello guys,first of all sorry for my English.

so one of my friends asked me to build him the cheapest pc that he would be able to game on.

so i am going to use older cpu and low end gpu.

i have 2 choices and i am unsure what should i choose:

amd A10-5800K APU

or amd fx 6300

both of them are from 2012 one with 6 cores one with 4,base clock is a bit higher on a10....

i am planing to use a dedicated gpu(amd rx 560 or 460 or my r7 260 to save even more)

which one should i choose?

thanks in advance.

my current home setup:cpu:amd ryzen 2700 // cpu cooler :aigo 120mm aio // mobo:gigabyte ab350-gaming 3 // ram:crosair vengance 8*4 // gpu:amd rx 5700 //

tower:antec p8 // psu:antec HCG 650w.

my current work setup: cpu:intel xeon x5675 // cpu cooler :generic 6 copper pipe // mobo: x58 lga 1366 chines motherboard // ram: 32GB ecc // gpu:amd r7 260x //                    

psu:antec 550w.

my current home server setup:cpu:intel xeon x5690 // cpu cooler :aigo 120mm aio // mobo: x58 lga 1366 chines motherboard // ram:crucial 8*2 // gpu:amd rx 580 //

FX 6300 is better, but none are good.

 

Can you get the similar price i5 2400 or i5 3470? They would be a lot better.
