I am thinking of buying a new gaming pc, but im not sure what i should choose from Windows 8 or Windows 7. The Windows 7 costs 50$ more
 
I personally Would chose Windows 7, however it all depends on how much money $50 is to you, Windows 8 can be made tolerable with a third party program that puts back the start menu and has its advantages, but I am never very happy using Windows 8. Some old games do not work with Windows 8, but I don't think that it should influence your decision. At the end of the day it is a matter of personal taste.

Stick with windows 7, and save yourself a lot of trouble. Windows 8 is more optimized for touch screen smartphones then the computer. The only thing you will get is a headache from googeling how to use it. It doesnt offer enough good changes to justify buying it over windows 7.

The pc i want to buy is an AMD pc, and ive heard that there is a problem with amd that the minmum fps can be very low at times. i have seen windows 8 fix that problem.

This specifically depends on what hardware you are using. It is not reflective of AMD's performance. Amd builds are more then capable of playing games fine on windows 7 with the right equipment.
