Hello, i have a problem deciding which system to use for gaming. One of them is ddr2, and other is ddr3. Will be using the same card, And harddrive in the system i decide to keep and use.

First and current system
AMD triple core 2.7GHZ Overclocked to 3.1.
6GB DDR3 1300MHZ SDRAM
ATI 7770 1GB GDDR5 OC edition.
1TB harddrive,(seagate, 7200RPM.)
Asus M4A88TD-M EVO.

Second System,
Some random 2 slot DDR2 Motherboard, socket 775.
Intel core 2 Quad 2.5GHZ.
8GB 800MHZ Ram,(heres the problem)
ATI 7770 1GB GDDR5 OC EDITION
1TB harddrive,(seagate, 7200RPM.)

The problem i'm having in deciding is the ddr2 over the ddr3. Is the processor in the intel enough to swap systems?(Intel system runs alot cooler, Quieter In the CPU and GPU. Also has a very eye pleasing case.)


Could you help me decide? i play WoW, All Cods, BF3, Skyrim etc.

Personally, I would pick none of these systems. Both are outdated in specs and hardware. I would suggest you build one with more recent components.

If you really want the best choice, pick the first one and upgrade the GPU. You won't be able to play games like BF3 or Skyrim smoothly with a PC like that. As for the GPU, it depends on your budget but if you are tight, I suggest you take a look a the new R9 cards from AMD. Otherwise, I recommend you take a GTX 760 or a GTX 770.

Just take not that if you upgrade for a more recent GPU, you'll maybe need to change your PSU to a more powerful one.

Dude, If you r hardcore gamer, thenu need to decide whether u wanna play those games in high resolution or just recomended setting..
both these systems will run the games ..
The GPU aint a high end one, butss quite good in its price range
As for my opinion, go for the first one..
AMD gives raw power dude, and it is clocked at a higher frequency as to 2.5 on the intel .. 6 GB Ram is adequete for your gaming experience..
Go for the first.........
