I'm going to share something sad with you guys, since we're on the subject of FX-series CPUs...
I had built, a few years ago (maybe 3-5 years ago, maybe not quite that long ago), some FX rigs for S&G. An 8320e, and a 6300, I think. I stuffed a GT 1030 into one of them, and gave it to a family friend for their grandkids to use as a "gaming PC".
Well, just the other day, I find out that the male grandkid, had at some point recently taken it all apart, and couldn't get it back together. Sad, yeah, I know. I told the family friend to tell the grandkid to watch some YouTube videos on PC building, he could get it put together right quick if he watch some videos. (Assuming that he didn't damage anything, which he might have, the friend didn't say.)
I've got a couple more PCs to give this friend, when I can get them cleaned up and fully assembled, but ... kind of a shame to see the FX rig "gone".
I think that I have another one in storage, not that I really want/need it, I guess, I would prefer it gone to a loving home at this point, but whatever.
