So, my friend bought himself a new gpu without asking myself or anybody about it. A few hours ago i got a call from him complaining he sees no results with his new gpu and i went to investigate. This is what i found.

Kids, don't be as dumb as my friend

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

What GPU did he buy also I would have looked into a little more RAM first. Ohh out of curiosity what CPU does he have?

Lucky bastard found a brand new asus 7970 platinum. Some warehouse was cleaning old stock and found a bunch of those. He got it with 100$. 

As for the cpu, a g3258, not a bad one, but god damn does it hold that card back

The ram is fine, he has a single stick of 8gb.

It's not a bad move, but for now the money he spend were for nothing. He has to wait for about 3-4 months to get enough money for a 4460

In some games, and if he overclocks that Pentium he can get some decent performance.

If your friend is in the Us then ask him if hes interested in getting an i5, I have a 4430 that I just upgraded from sitting around doing nothing that I would be willing to let go for cheap. Ive not got around to posting it on ebay so if hes interested he can have first dibs.
