Old system
CPU: Pentium dual core E5200 2.5ghz
GPU: Gt 440 1gb ddr5
RAM: 4gb ddr2 (idk what speed)
Storage: 500gb 5200 rpm

New system
CPU: A10-6800k
GPU: hd 8670d (till I dual gpu I with 7770)
RAM: 8gb ddr3 2133
Storage: 64gb ssd for os and 500gb 7200 rpm hdd

Want to know how much better of a comp my new one is. I know the graphics are pretty much the same but want to know all around how much better with everyday use. Thanks in advance.

The 6800k has 4 cores, a higher clock speed and more overclocking head room. The E5200 is more energy efficient. What really separates the two chips besides their basic stats is the Instruction-set-extensions. The older CPU won't have SSE4.2, SSE4.1, SSE4, SSE4a or AES.

You could also run a benchmark like Heaven or 3DMark11 to give you an idea of how much better the AMD is even with the built in GPU.

I am satisfied with the same performance as the gt 440 until I get a dedicated gpu. Also my apu build is $100 cheaper vs my i3 650ti boost build which atm is the aim.
