Help in getting a system

[MAHAD93]

Hello again people...
Sorry long time no see, was busy with exams and stuff...Computer Science is hard ya know

Anyway I am getting a new desktop sooner...You can pay a visit to my old one in my Sig. So, I wanted to ask a couple of questions

AMD A-10 vs Intel i7 or i5 (I was inclined towards AMD 'cause I've had A10 in laptop, good performance, significantly cheaper).
And secondly, would getting an All-In-One affect my performance in anyway ??

P.S: (I know PCSX2 in general is CPU-Intensive not GPU, and what matters most is single-threaded performance for it)

ThanK YoU in advance:

I would build an i5 rig if you're planning on doing pc gaming as well.

what's your requirements ? budget ?

Not as much...An A10 Laptop would probably handle all I'd throw at it...

Basic everyday PC stuff along with University stuff...Linux, Programming and stuff...I don't live in the US..But I'll be getting my PC from here...Requirement is around $500ish...No time for custom builds, just a brand name pickup, probably inclined towards a touchscreen All-In-One as opposed to a traditional Tower-Case.
My Laptop...The 1st in my Sig although plays most games decently...But it's Intel GPU means it gets TOO HOT, even on the slightest stuff...Heck!, You could Barbecue a Burger or whatever on it, and a cooler didn't help either...CPU usage though is 25% at max...

So yeah, Mostly....If AMD's can handle the stuff, and, If an All-I -One can...

if you are looking for efficiency, you should go for the Nvidia/intel side. you have got it inverse :d

And, about an All-In-One vs a traditional desktop tower case ??

I don't know have any experience about this all-in-one thing.

Probably like a large tablet...
How's about this particular build maxed out on it's CPU and RAM config ??
