I'm deliberating between these two PCs. One seems to have a better graphics card, while the other has a better processor... Which would be better for gaming?

PC #1
Processor: AMD Quad-Core FX-4100 Zambezi Processor
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics

PC #2
Processor: 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i5-3350P processor
Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 650

Both have 8 gigs of RAM, and I plan to use 1920 x 1080 resolution. Thanks to anybody who can help.

Edit- I forgot to ask -- is there going to be a significant difference between the performance of these two PCs? Because if I can save $150 by getting a PC that performs only slightly less well...
 
Solution
The FX4100 isn't such a good CPU. The 7770 is a bit better but I think the CPU might bottleneck.

As far as AMD cpus go, stay away from bulldozer (FX4100, FX6100, FX8150)
