Well Obviously A8-3870K is better for your purpose..
But overall performance from either wont be satisfactory..

I suggest you to save some dough & splurge a bit on better & discreet graphics for satisfaction

Better save some bucks and go for Intel's new CPUs.
When comparing Intel and AMD , don't go for the SPECS , unless you need lots and lots of cores.
AMD's CPU architecture is way inferior than Intel SB or higher , and much older Too.


I think you should look out for new SB or Ivory bridges proccessors from Intel , they will beat the Cr@p out of AMD FX in terms of gaming and lot more.

IVB even have an advanced IGP , HD4000 series.

If you have money to spend , dont think about AMD. Simply Go for Intel+Discrete GPU.

I personally don't like the Bulldozer series,specially the way they were overhyped.
Infact its better to get a Core I3-2100 than 6100,for SP games.
Below link is the list of CPU in order of their gaming performance.

O/w you can settle down with AMD's APU with powerful inbuilt gfx , if money matters.
Note: I am not an Intel Fanboi.

Depends on the budget. Mention your budget.

For your purpose and if budget permits, you might want to consider intel proc.

Also depends on which games you play. Onboard /On Die / w/e will allow you to play only at Low-Med setts in most games.

Also if you are not considering any discrete GPU, then A8 is better choice
and yes, mention your overall budget
