    Depending on what Motherboard you choose the i3 would be better, Plus you can overclock the i3 to like 3.8 ghz..

    The graphics are better with the A10-5800K, so if you can't spring for a separate video card, that would be your best bet. Also, this is the chip to get if you'd like to play around with CPU overclocking as the multiplier is unlocked.

    The i3's graphics are basic performance, so if you don't have a video card, don't expect much here.

    If you have or plan on purchasing a video card and don't care about overclocking, go with whatever chip is cheapest.

    It seems to run alright with my 6750, so I'd imagine there's a few performance tweaks for the 7750 that might smooth it out a tad. I highly doubt it's any worse. However, an quick peek at the next step up, the Radeon 7790 is better and practically the same price, at least according to Newegg's prices. You have plenty of options under $120, and the 7750 is right around $100-110, so it's worth a shot.

    Also, I'd imagine that i3 is probably a bit better than my Pentium E2160, so that should help as well.
