That FX-4100 rig, holy shit.

I feel your pain on that.

What was the 8370 for? Barely any noticeable improvement. Ditto on the 480, a 290X is basically a 390X which is basically a hotter 480.

He was mainly gaming, eventually he started to record his gameplay, then lastly he got an Elgato card. If you mean why did he "upgrade" from FX-8350 to FX-8370? I just don't know. I told him it was the same CPU but overclocked a few and he wanted it anyways.  He wanted something new when it comes to the GPU stuff.

lol I didn't have to play on it I build for a friend and he didn't seem to have any issues, I wanted to start him off on a FX-6100 but budget didn't allow at that time.
