Basically, I got a new office rig from my friend.
It's not the best thing ever, but it works. It's a 2nd gen i7 (4 core, 8 threads), 8GB DDR3 RAM. It originally had an ATI graphics card, but I swapped it out for a GTX 680 that I had lying around. I was gonna use my GTX 1050 Ti, but the board doesn't play well with GTX 10 series. I also had to swap out the stock 300W power supply for a 750W one that I had hanging around. I needed it to power the GTX 680.
I also ordered a new wireless card since now I have a rig that had PCIe x1 ports. That was installed with no problems.
I got everything installed, cables routed and cleaned up, installed the OS, and was happy with the way everything was running...then my friend texted me to be sure I was home.
Apparently, he got another rig for me.

It is a fancier rig. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 in it and 16GB DDR4 RAM. No video card, but my GTX 1050 Ti works just fine in it. I borrowed an SSD drive to test the whole rig up and happy to say that it runs some of the games that I wanted to play runs just fine on it with little to no hiccups. On the other rig (with the i7), the games run fine as well, just a little stuttering here and there. My old rig would barely play the games, but would freeze when the the gameplay got hectic.
I'm waiting to order new drives for the new, new rig so I can get everything moved over. It's nice to get a way better rig than what I originally had (Extreme Quad core, 6GB DDR2 RAM).
