This year I'm finally buying a PC. I've found 3 I like but can't decide which one I should get. I got a budget of 240, and I already have an OS for it, I just need the tower itself.

Computer 1: OCHW Atom Blue 2 x Led Fan's 4.1GHz Fast Dual Core, Gaming PC, Desktop Computer 3.9GHz 4.1GHz Turbo AMD A6 6400K Dual Core, Radeon HD 8470D Graphics Card Chip,1000GB HDD Hard Drive, 8GB 1600MHZ RAM, USB 3.0

Computer 2: ULTRA FAST 3.9 GHz Dual Core AMD Desktop Gaming Office Home Family PC Computer (AMD A-Series 6300 3.7GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Dual Core Processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive, AMD Radeon 8370D Integrated Graphics)

Computer 3: Fierce ULTRA FAST Dual Core Gaming PC - 3.7GHz AMD Desktop Gaming PC - Home Family Office Computer (AMD A-Series A4-6300 at 3.9GHz Turbo, WIFI, 8GB, 1TB HDD, Radeon HD 8370D)

I plan on using it for college work and light gaming (Gmod really). Which one should I buy? And will they connect to my Bush HD TV?
 
They're all fine for general computing.

Middle one has the strongest cpu, by quite a margin. You'll not be able to game on it, though. The other two are a little better for games, but still pretty terrible. Don't think gmod needs much graphical grunt (?), but suspect they would still be a little on the lean side for it.

If you can get something with an amd a8 or a10, instead of the a4 you have there, then you'll be much better set for light gaming

Edit:
Misread the middle one's spec as being an FX6300, with mobo graphics.

To be honest none of them are "Gaming PC's". Companies put the moniker "Gaming PC" in the description to get people to buy them yet they only have integrated graphics. Its a bit of a con to fool non experienced public. Something the purple shirts would do for instance.

Not sure what Cheesyboy is on but both 2 and 3 PC's above have the same CPU and PC 1 has the best CPU as its a 6400k and can be overclocked more than the others.

PC 1 is the best computer but a Gaming PC really needs a dedicated Graphics Card as the Integrated ones wont cut it. Probably be okay with GMod at low/medium but it can be GPU intensive depending on what you are doing with GMod.

All 3 should connect to your TV via HDMI (preferably) or VGA.

If you went for this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...icro-atx-ddr3-gaming-pc-fs-151-og.html#t=b6d1 which is the cheapest OCUK build and then added a A10-7700k that would come out at £287 and give you a much better experience. If your budget can stretch. If you could find a bit more you could add a 750ti for £377

Alternatively have you considered building your own ? It can be cheaper sometimes.
 
Ah yes, read the middle one as a fx 6300, with mobo graphics, rather than the apu.

Yeah, they're all much the same, but a bit weak for even light 3d gaming
