AMD to Intel question

So I have recently been getting into PC building and gaming and assembled my 1st PC from scratch in March. It's an AMD FX 6100 coupled with 8 gigs G Skill 1600 RAM and a Geforce 550ti. Not exactly "master race" worthy, but this was kind of a practice build that I plan on eventually selling.

Anyways, I am thinking of going Intel, mostly for PS2 emulation and gaming in general. I am targeting an i5 3570 build(left out the k for now as im not sure I want to OC right now), and will probably keep the 550ti for now. I also have a copy of Windows 7 home, and was wondering if there is any kind of limit as to how many times I can re-install due to new hardware?

And what would be the easiest way to back up my games and stuff? I just have a single HDD right now, but am planning on getting a 1TB and/or a SSD.

don't know why you'd switch for ps2 emulation.

the new i5's are supposed to be better than the old i7s

You can install windows however many times you want as long it's registered to you afaik

for games, if you got them off steam, you need to just redownload them. if not, then you need to reinstall them from disc or whatever your source is. They won't exist in the registry when you reinstall windows so if you just try to copy and paste them over it won't work right. Just find your save files and back those up.

if you get an SSD, get one with an MLC chip and make sure it's over 128gb. Windows can take up from 20-30gb nowadays and if you wanna run games or any large programs off an ssd, you'll need plenty of room.

AMD>Intel

The guy above me probably bought his gaming pc already assembled.

I lol'd.

It all depends on your preferences. AMD is a lot cheaper than AMD and a lot of people choose AMD for that reason alone because of the price difference. I am not saying that AMD is a bad chip but Intel > AMD.

      I wouldn't trade Svech for the best FA on the market, Marner included. Matter of fact, someone would be giving up a top line scorer and a couple draft picks for Svech.  Look at it this way, if Svech was a UFA in a couple days, what does his contract look like? That'll tell you everything you need to know.

      I know it a real homer take but Im not sure Id slam dunk take that list over Smitty.  Smith just played a different way, he had an ability to just take over a game as a matter of will.  The catch against the giants where he caught it and took a helmet that broke his arm mid air, the games against DeAngelo Hall, 05 Bears playoffs, Ice Up Son, the revenge game against us. Those other WRs may have better stat books but love him or hate him, good guy or bad, Smith just played a different game and when he did look out.

      Absolutely would have to be anther young scorer with either ELC time or a long term contract...    Could see maybe Kyrou or Robertson.... But I really just dont see him being traded you dont trade your leading post season scorer on a long term deal when he isn't even in his prime yet..   not to mention unless you get more than one of those guys at best it would be lateral with unknown team chemistry.
