Hi, I currently own a rig with an AMD A8-5500 and a Radeon HD 7770 Graphics card that I pretty much use exclusively for gaming. I just picked up a slightly older Dell Vostro desktop with an i5-2400 inside, I have heard that Intel chips are better with dedicated graphics than AMD, but would it be worth it to swap out from one pc to the next?
PC #1: AMD A8-5500, 350w HP power supply, 8 GB pc3-12600 RAM, Radeon HD 7770 graphics card.
PC #2: Intel i5-2400, 350w Dell power supply, 4 GB pc3-10600 RAM (can upgrade to 8 GB for small cost), same graphics card as above.
Thank you!
P.S. I will be looking to upgrade to a more powerful graphics card down the line (have my eye on a R9 280x), if that's the case will either chip still work effectively or would I have to bite the bullet and get a new processor?
