Hello Guys,

I have two options, without making any changes, which one would be better for gaming?
Not future upgrades, or anything like that, just strictly gaming.

Option 1

AMD A8-6600K Richland 3.9GHZ APU
MSI A78M-E45 uATX FM2+ Motherboard
PNY XLR8 SSD9SC120GMDF-RB 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal SSD Drive 500MB/S Read 450MB/S Write
G.SKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL PC3-12800 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600
Cooler Master Elite 350 Black ATX Mid Tower Case 500W 4X5.25 1X3.5 6X3.5INT
Using the onboard video.



Option 2

Intel G3220 Dual Core 3.0Ghz CPU
AsROCK H81 Chipset MB
4GB DDR3 Memory
Radeon 7750 1GB PCI-E Video Card
Kingston 120GB SSD
Foxconn Case TLA 263 w/ 350W PS


Might be obvious because of the discrete graphics in option 2, but the processor on the AMD is way better in performance and benchmarks. The 7750 isn't that much better than the 8570d onboard according to benchmarks.

Cheers!
 


Are you sure the AMD processor is better? I thought the G3220 beat it easily?
