AMD to Intel question


The Faceless

Recommended Posts

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.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
