They're amazing unless you upgrade to a dedicated card in the future.

It depends on the games you want to play on them.  With my experience with them you are better to just get a dedicated GPU, even if it is a cheap one, and upgrade later on.  You can get Athlon X4 860k and, say, a R9 260(X) for a little bit more than the A10-7850k.  It will perform loads better though, and it has a much better OCing capabilities than the A10.
