Windows 8 or Windows 7?

[EnormousGnome]

Hi guys! Now. Before you flame me for making a thread like this, I want to know which one is better for my particular system. I've read that if you have a good gaming computer, Windows 8 will run games smoother. Is this true? My system specs are(soon):

 

AMD 1055T

...Some MATX motherboard I don't know the model of, made by Asus.

HD 7790

10GB of RAM

Two hard drives

and generic case.

 

This was just a brief spec sheet because soon when I get my 7790, I'll post a build log in the build log section.

 

Anyway, with these specs, would Windows 8 or 7 be better for..Mostly gaming, but I do video and audio edit because I am very passionate about my guitar playing and like to record and do covers.

Thanks guys.

 

BTW I have access to BOTH operating systems. They're actually sitting right next to me.

it depends if the slight improvement in games is worth the modern ui garbage

I've used Windows 8 already, and personally I don't mind the UI and I can see myself growing to it. Please don't post anything about the experience of each OS.

Windows 8. No point in getting 7 now because you can remove anything you don't like on 8 anyways.

I'm not concerned if I will like Windows 8 or not. My concern is that if my system is capable of running Windows 8 without slowing when I'm playing games, or just browsing the web, or whatever.

Windows 8 is more light weight than 7.

 

Meaning it uses less resources. It also boots faster. So really, really, it won't slow anything down.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thank you!
