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.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
