What is the difference? Which should you consider for what purpose? Basic computer with minor game play? Serious gamer? I know how to choose a CPU, but have no experience with APUs.:confused5:

Not 100% sure where the confusion is :D:leaving:

I'd suggest central A/C plus a fan for when the gaming really gets tough.
