My main PC had a meltdown, so I dusted off a pair of older PCs I got from my brother years ago.

PC 1. i5-2300, Sapphire Radeon HD7970, 12GB 1333 DDR3 RAM.

PC 2. AMD A8-7600 APU, NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, 8GB 1600 DDR3.

Which one would you use as a temp?

The i5 2300 and A8 7600 are not that far apart performance wise but the 7970 is vastly superior to the 730. Memory speeds are negligiable. 1 easily.

A8 7600 is a "clustered multithread" processor, i.e. Advanced Marketing Department is lying about how many cores it has. It's really a hyperthreaded dual-core, like an i3-2xxx

I would use the Intel one, but steal some RAM from the AMD one if there's slots. It's fine to mix RAM, the faster RAM just runs at the slower RAM's speed.

And maybe get an i5-3570 if you see it on the motherboard's compatibility list and can buy it for $15 or less.

Actually one free slot in PC 1 for memory, so that'll give me 16GB RAM if you're correct. One is HP marked and the other one Samsung marked, but I will give it go for sure. Thanks you man!
