How would these systems run CS:GO?

Hey.  Im looking to buy the prebuilt Asus m32cd or the Asus m32bf.  I'm needing to know how each of these systems will run CS:GO.  I just want to know how many frames I would be looking to get on medium-high settings on whatever resolution.  Any help is appreciated.  

 

The m32cd was reviewed in Linus' video about the Best Buy gaming PC and I was looking to buy it or the m32bf.  

 

The m32cd has an Intel i5 6400 quad core 2.7 GHz and Intel integrated 530 HD graphics.  I know that the integrated graphics aren't the best but I was wondering how it would run CS. 

 

The Asus m32bf has an AMD A10-7800 quad core 3.5 GHz.  This is an apu and I'm not too familiar with them and how upgrading the gpu would be.  

 

In conclusion, all I really need to know is how these systems will preform against eachother in CS:GO.  CS is a very cpu dependent game I've heard so I want to know which will be best.  

 

Thank you.  (I'm new so I'm not sure where to post this.  Feel free to move me wherever this is supposed to go.  Sorry)

I would go with the Intel system.

Better upgrade path

Solid CPU performance

And according some benchmarks the HD530 graphics are actually better than the iGPU in the A10 7800.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-a10-7800-kaveri-apu-efficiency,3899-6.html

(i5 6600k and i7 6700k both use the HD530 iGPU).

Well... yeah, like nskceaj said, dont buy pre-builded PC. It will run CS GO ok-ish, there's some youtube video on this one, just search Intel  530 HD CS:GO, but for around 500$ you could get a better system. Something like this for example:

I'm stuck at around a $350 budget range.  The total for the computer and monitor I want on Amazon is $490.  $400 for the PC and 90 for the monitor.  Would there be any compromise on anything?  Maybe like a cheaper motherboard or switching to maybe a Radeon rather than a GeForce?

You are also going to have to buy Windows. Which is $100 normally. Unless you use other places to get a key. 

If all you want to do is CS and only have $350 to spend. Might as well get the Intel pre-built. Even though they are not very good value, and don't allow for much upgrades without replacing many parts.

This should handle CS:GO just fine at 1080P maxed out, only FXAA (no MSAA).

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

I saw in Linus' video for the m32cd desktop that the prebuilt was a better value than buying all the parts and building it yourself.  I have no problem with upgrading parts in the future.  I'm just very worried about buying the system and then realizing that I can't run csgo at a stable frame rate.

I'm pretty sure on Amazon that system + monitor is 581$. It could be something wrong with my amazon though. If so then might as well buy that prebuild one (with the i5 6400) and also check if it have a slot for GPU so you can upgrade it later down the line.

It's a different monitor that im looking at.  Im just looking at a prebuilt because I don't have much confidence in building one.  Cen seen guide so but I still get confused.

Pretty much all you need to do to build one is watch a build-log from Linus, the older one when he didnt skip any step. You could also ask people here to help you over Skype or something. I remember helping a guy in UK who goes out to buy 2000 pound PC's part and dont know how to build it and come here asking for help :P It was a fun experience.

So I went ahead and added an A10, wireless adpater and Windows 10.  Is there even much of a difference between the A8 and A10 to where I can notice it?  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HJTVt6
