Firstly, you'll need to know how to overclock to achieve better gaming performance out of this APU. Secondly, make sure the Motherboard you're getting has latest BIOS for APU support. If it doesn't, let the shop do a BIOS flash with another CPU.
Best to get someone who knows PC to go with you if you're not up to date with the Hardware.
Sadly, can't get you a PC with a GPU at the moment due to high GPU prices. If you wish to improve your gaming experience, feel free to get a GPU in the future when prices drop.
