Why the 4 year old processor?

It's still a decent processor for the money. Granted, you can get an i5 for another $50 that will bend it over, but it's still a decent CPU.

I'm a fucking AMD kawaii weeaboo desu I have seen the light

No. Believe me its not, the mobo needs to have its fucking heatsinks cooled in the summer, have good phases and other shit.

The fx 8xxx series are total bullshit now.

Or you could get an i3 for the same price of less that will perform better in modern games

I talked with the employee at the ncix and he suggested the 8350 over the 4690k

I would say the 4690k is allot better but I have never owned a fx 8350

Alex from the Vancouver store

Someone should fire Alex from the vancouver store. Not only is the 4690k more expensive so they would get a better cut, but its also just better

Is it that bad that I should return it?

Also either A)punch alex or B)explain to his manager that his tech savy salesman sold the fx3850 over the 4690k, when the customer was not restricted by cost...
