A10-5800K or i5-2500K (In this situation)

[dan.hardy111]

Hi, I have been putting together a secondary gaming PC and it currently contains:
i5-2500K CPU
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte Windforce 3X OC GTX 760
ASUS P8BH67-M LE Motherboard
Corsair VS550 PSU

But my Dad has just upgraded his kit and has passed his old system down to me, his contains:
A10-5800K CPU
(I took the RAM, its in my PC now)
Some gigabyte ultra durable motherboard (fm2 socket)
older looking thermaltake 560W PSU

The thing is, I kind of want to use his motherboard since it has 2 graphics card slots and 4 ram slots where my current one only has 2 (so theres potential upgradability) But the motherboard is limited to the A series and a couple of athlons.

The question is would I lose any performance with this change?
Honestly I'm more inclined to go with the fm2 board with the a10 if theres only marginal difference as I feel 8GB will not be sufficient soon...

Thanks!

Stick with the i5, it's much faster than anything you can put on that FM2 board. As for more ram, 8gb is just fine with the cpu you have.

Yeah. I5. The A series is horrible weak
