You may need to clarify what your motherboard model is (especially with Gigabyte and their revisions). The closest I could find is the GA-78LMT-USB3 rev. 4.1. The FX-8370 is compatible with this motherboard.

However, I would imagine your desire to play the latest games will be hampered on both accounts as they tend to be CPU intensive and require...

However, I would imagine your desire to play the latest games will be hampered on both accounts as they tend to be CPU intensive and require higher specced graphics cards. This will depend on your expectation in terms of performance. Read through this as additional information: https://steamcommunity.com/app/391220/discussions/0/405692758704321224/
